Artist Celebrate 24th In Sydney

Veronicas

Waking in New York, I layed in bed flipping through my black berry. An alert came across, “Veronica’s Celebrate Birthday in Sydney.”  Well, it was enough to rouse me to log on to the computer and look at the pictures.

I love these girls. While in Australia last, I played one of their songs over an over while driving in Surfer’s. They are talented and outgoing, something that is very admirable.  Happy birthday girls! Photo by: W.  Theodoro.

Rudley Interrupted Plays at United Nations

OZ Rock Band Rocks United Nations Headquarters

Well from our last post, it is true… The United Nations really does work.

Rudely Interrupted played at United Nations Headquarters in New York today. You can see the Melbourne band rocking it out by clicking here. This was to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The event was organized by the Permanent Missions of Australia and Hungary. This was also in in cooperation with the secretariat for the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, DESA.

Tim Out New York says that Rudely Interrupted, “They stand apart from their peers - not because of the intellectual disabilities, but because their music is some of the most energetic and genuine to emerge from the Australian rock ‘n’ roll underground in recent times. Their songs life the band above the realm of novelty and give them a cultural cache in the image obsessed world of indie rock.”

When we received the press release on this event, we did not realize the disabilities of Rudely Interrupted. However, it warmed our hearts to see them play in New York.

After all, there are days when we all have our handicaps and disabilities.

Australian Top Model Fancies Chocolates

Demelza Reveley

Well, she won the crown of being Australia’s “Top Model” and yesterday she posed in Sydney with chocolates. We have nothing BAD to say about Ms. Reveley… Her recent trip to New York City was said to be a success. What we do have to say is maybe as Australians we should create our own programming instead of copying everything that is done in the U.S.

Wouldent that be a scream if we created a show here in Australia that was syndicated all over the world?  Meanwhile, we wish Ms. Revely all the best with the candies.
