Event Description

he Necks are one of the great cult bands of Australia. The Guardian (UK) calls them “one of the most extraordinary groups on the planet…they produce a post-jazz, post-rock, post-everything sonic experience that has few rivals…a thrilling, emotional journey.” In short, Chris Abrahams (The Benders, Melanie Oxley) piano/keyboards, Lloyd Swanton (The Catholics, Bernie McGann) bass, and Tony Buck (PERIL, John Zorn) drums, create a riveting, magical sound together that defies categorization. The Necks have released thirteen albums featuring lengthy pieces which slowly unravel in the most intoxicating fashion, frequently underpinned by an insistent deep groove. AllAboutJazz.com calls the trio’s recent release Mosquito/See Through “astonishing music which will take you out of yourself, and bring you back one or two hours later refreshed and re-energized.”
