Together for over 25 years, the Australian cult trio The Necks are recognised internationally for their long-form improvisation. Not entirely avant-garde, nor minimalist, nor ambient, nor jazz, the music of The Necks is regularly described as, simply, unique. Every Necks' performance is a singular event, entirely improvised and working with the acoustics of the room. Featuring lengthy pieces which build in a mesmerising epic fashion, their performances are never less than phenomenal. In recent years, along with their regular international touring, The Necks have been invited by Nick Cave to appear at All Tomorrow's Parties and collaborated with Brian Eno in PURE SCENIUS at Sydney Opera House and Brighton Festival. In 2013 they released their 17th album Open.
