The Necks Are Proud of Their Lack of Direction
They make no plans before their concerts. Instead, they just go where their music takes them. When the Necks take the stage at REDCAT on Thursday night, there will surely be some confused looks darting around the audience before the performance begins. If the Australian piano trio's pattern holds -- as it has for the last ...
The Necks at Redcat in Los Angeles on February 19th
"Entirely new and entirely now... The Necks' music is a thrilling journey into the unknown..." --The Guardian One of the great left-field cult bands working today, the trio from Sydney delivers a post-jazz, post-rock, post-everything sonic experience that has few parallels anywhere.

The Necks: The Boys
by Simon Calle
If you're looking for minimalism in jazz, just listen to the Australian trio The Necks. The music of this band formed by pianist Chris Abrahams, drummer Tony Buck and bassist Lloyd Swanton, is characterized by its simplicity in forms.
