The Necks SET 10:00pm Tuesday, May 2, 2006
"Hosted by Kate Crawford, SET is a bold, new live performance-based music program featuring
the very best of Australia's vibrant and diverse experimental music scene.
This fascinating world, long neglected by the mainstream media, is one brimming with new ideas,
approaches and philosophies about the possibilities of music and sound.
SET showcases a wide range of artists from those pushing the boundaries of jazz, pop and
classical composition, to makers of unusual and beautiful new instruments.
SET will feature nine programs throughout May, July and August.
Tonight on SET we feature The Necks, one of Australia's great cult bands.
Forming The Necks, Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd Swanton (bass)
conjure a chemistry that is difficult to describe in orthodox terms.
Featuring lengthy pieces which slowly unravel in the most intoxicating fashion,
frequently underpinned by an insistent deep groove.
The deceptive simplicity of their music throws forth new charms on each hearing.
Not entirely avant-garde, minimalist, ambient, or jazzy, the music of The Necks are
undisputedly unique in the world today".
Enjoy,
