Get Ready: The Necks are Coming to The Jam House!
We're absolutely thrilled – dare we say, honored – to finally welcome one of Australia's most legendary cult bands, The Necks, for their inaugural performance right here!
If you've never experienced The Necks, you're in for a revelation. This isn't just a band; it's an alchemical reaction. Witness Chris Abrahams on piano, Tony Buck on drums, and Lloyd Swanton on bass as they weave a sonic tapestry that simply defies easy categorization. Forget your preconceived notions – their chemistry together is something you have to feel to believe.
The Necks are masters of the long-form. Their pieces aren't just songs; they're epic journeys that slowly unravel with mesmerizing grace. Often underpinned by a deep, insistent groove that gets right into your soul, their eighteen albums are a testament to their genius, begging to be re-listened to again and again.
Don't be fooled by the deceptive simplicity; each listen unveils new layers, new charms, and new depths. Is it avant-garde? Minimalist? Ambient? Jazz? Yes, and yet, none of them entirely. The truth is, The Necks' music is a singular phenomenon in the world today.
As the Los Angeles Times perfectly put it, they're "A magic act masquerading as a piano trio, this Australian group delivers long-form improvisations that shift with such patient beauty that it casts a bit of a trance. You’ll seldom spend an hour that passes so quickly — and rewardingly.”
