Musicians
The Necks
band / ensemble / orchestraAbout
30 years of The Necks will be celebrated in style: one eight hour-long, continuous relay of performances by likeminded musicians, wholly in the spirit of the Australian cult band.
For 30 years the Australian trio The Necks has been a cult phenomenon, renowned for their endlessly fascinating, hypnotic improvisations on piano, double bass and percussion. For this 30th anniversary at the Bimhuis, several kindred bands have been invited for an overlapping relay of performances. Free improvisation is the common factor.
The anniversary features nearly eight hours of continuous music in overlapping sets of solos, duos, trios and guerrilla actions. The members of The Necks will occasionally join in. The temporary line-up: The Necks - Contest of Pleasures - Vatcher/Moore/Swanton - The International Nothing - Dans Les Arbres - Axel Dörner - Vellum - The Dogmatics - The Necks and Clarinets......
