The Necks

Seeing The Necks in concert is an experience like no other.

Chris Abrahams, Tony Buck and Lloyd Swanton - these three master musicians, who take to the stage with nothing prepared in advance - set out investigating a humble musical notion and then over the course of pieces which sometimes go for an hour or more, conjure textures and aural illusions that defy description.

From their unambitious beginnings in a rehearsal space over thirty years ago, The Necks are now in demand around the world ... don't miss this chance to see them in concert. 

In recent times The Necks have enjoyed a symphony orchestra improvising behind them in a concert hall down a Polish salt mine, performed a double bill with the Art Ensemble of Chicago, received the Richard Gill Award for Distinguished Services to Australian Music, opened for Nick Cave, played on album releases by Underworld and Swans, and performed in a Finnish church carved out of solid rock.

And the press said…

“One of the most important bands Australia has ever produced. Their influence on musicians across the musical spectrum has been profound… Physical, abstract, cerebral… but deeply moving” - Rolling Stone

"This is The Necks, one of the world's most intoxicating cult bands, and this is what they have done at every single gig in their 33-year career: make epic, unrepeatable new music completely from scratch" - MOJO magazine

"It is so very difficult to encapsulate the appeal of the Necks. In essence, they make a humbling, transcendent racket, organic and living, but intense and machine-like at the same time." - The Guardian, four-star review of London concert
