The Necks

The release in 1989 of the album 'Sex' by Sydney band The Necks  
signaled the arrival of a unique new musical force on the Australian  
scene.

Comprising pianist Chris Abrahams, double bassist Lloyd Swanton, and  
drummer Tony Buck, The Necks work without boundaries to present music  
which, at any given time, could be referred to as jazz, avant-garde,  
minimalist or ambient. In reality The Necks are all of these, and  
more. But what is perhaps more remarkable about The Necks is that each  
performance is a piece made in the moment; never played before and  
never to be repeated. Their ability to conjure mountains of sound from  
the humblest of beginnings has garnered them rave reviews from across  
the planet.

Working under these terms requires extreme conditions and The Necks  
demand silence when they perform. Respect The Necks!
