Demonstrating an impressive mastery of the scope of music, they weave a tonal experience that takes listeners on a journey like no other.

A rare opportunity to see them perform in such an intimate indoor setting at Riversdale will be happening on June 25.

Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd Swanton (bass) conjure a chemistry together that defies description in orthodox terms.

Featuring lengthy pieces which slowly unravel in the most mesmerising fashion, frequently underpinned by an insistent deep groove.

The deceptive simplicity of their music throws forth new charms on each hearing.

Not entirely avant-garde, nor minimalist, nor ambient, nor jazz, the music of The Necks is possibly unique in the world today.

After more than 20 years of playing together, the Necks have honed their art to the point where their concerts are like collective meditations, executed with a Zen-like discipline that paradoxically engenders an extraordinary amount of freedom.

Chris Abrahams became very active in the Sydney jazz scene in the early eighties playing with modern jazz groups including Mark Simmonds’ Freeboppers and The Keys Music Orchestra. With Lloyd Swanton he formed the ‘60s modern jazz-influenced The Benders in 1982. 

Tony Buck is regarded as one of Australia's most creative and adventurous exports, with vast experience across the globe.

He has been involved in a highly diverse array of projects. Apart from The Necks, he is probably best known as leader of hardcore/impro band PERIL.

Following time spent in Japan, Tony moved to Europe, and has involved himself in many projects there.

Lloyd Swanton has been described as "an outstanding and imaginative Australian bassist and composer", His long-running group, The Catholics, has released eight albums, all produced and predominantly composed by him, with three receiving ARIA Award nominations.
