Autumn–Winter 2023 Tickets

'[The Necks] are sometimes categorised as a jazz trio – which is fine as long as this is immediately qualified by adding that they've completely reconceived the idea of the jazz trio.'

– Geoff Dyer, Working the Room


Named 'one of the greatest bands in the world' by the New York Times and 'one of the most important bands Australia has ever produced' by Rolling Stone Australia, The Necks have been an evergreen mainstay of the contemporary music scene for over thirty-five years. Credited with creating 'a new genre – let's call it "textural jazz"' – by The Australian, this trio build their musical structures from the ground up afresh in every show, brick by sonic brick.

They've improvised with a symphony orchestra 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 album releases by Underworld and Swans, and performed in a Finnish church carved out of solid rock. Their unpremeditated, telepathic ensemble playing has been described as 'a post-jazz, post-rock, post-everything sonic experience that has few parallels or rivals' (Guardian). There is never a program for this trio. The only sure thing is spontaneity and inventive bliss.
