Event
One of Australia's great cult bands, The Necks give audiences a unique concert experience, with every performance completely improvised. They set out investigating a humble musical notion and then, over the course of the performance, conjure textures and aural illusions that defy description. Not entirely avant-garde, nor minimalist, nor ambient, nor jazz, they are a band like no other. In recent times they have improvised with a symphony orchestra 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 albums by Underworld and Swans; and performed in a Finnish church carved out of solid rock. Rolling Stone magazine described them as "One of the most important bands Australia has ever produced. Their influence on musicians across the musical spectrum has been profound."
