From the Disabilities Network of NYC:Plans are underway to kick off a series of events big and small celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act in NYC. Launching the effort will be a big concert by Australia's "Rudely Interrupted" at the Brooklyn Bowl on June 10.
Haven't heard of the Rudies yet? They are the FIRST rock band to play the United Nations and also happen to be packed full of people with disabilities! See clip below for more details:
