Cult Australian Band The Necks Make QPAC Debut
The unique sounds of one of Australia's great cult bands, The Necks will fill the Concert Hall, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) for one night only on Thursday 1 June, 2017.
Fresh from their tour with Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds and 18 albums in, The Necks', Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums) and Lloyd Swanton (bass), conjure a chemistry together that defies description.
With no two performances alike, The Necks invent their music in real time.
A live performance can typically begin very quietly with one of the musicians playing something very simple and, one by one, the other two will join with their own contributions, all three independent yet intertwined.
As the piece builds through subtle micro-changes, the interaction of their instruments creates layers of harmonics and washes of sound that slowly unravels and is 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.
Don't miss The Necks QPAC debut performance that showcases the band's hypnotic and thrilling musical style in one of Australia's most spectacular concert venues. Tickets are on sale now via qpac.com.au or 136 246.
