About

The Necks are one of the most distinctive and compelling groups in music. This November they take up residency at Cafe OTO performing six sets over three nights. Together for 25 years The Necks have enthralled audiences worldwide with their compelling style of improvisation. Defying orthodox description, not entirely avant-garde, nor minimalist, nor ambient, nor jazz, their music is regularly described internationally as, simply, unique. Featuring lengthy pieces of slow-form development which build in mesmerizing, epic fashion frequently underpinned by an insistent pulse, their performances are never less than phenomenal.
