The Necks

A landmark in audacious music for over three decades, praised by prestigious counterparts such as Brian Eno and Swans, The Necks combine improvisation and dialogue between instruments on stage to create a form of exploration that invites the audience to surrender completely.

Is it Australia’s remote location and violent history that guarantees the intensity and creative fervour of its music scene? Cult band The Necks are a case in point, as their discography has been blazing its own sonic trail since 1989. It would be a pity to categorise them as a simple jazz band, as their tracks also draw on the power of rock, the evocative power of ambient and the hypnotism of kraut rock, while never losing sight of a certain love of melody. A musical experience without equal, the Australian trio can rely on the almost magical, telepathic relationship that unites its members for unforgettable live performances.
