The Necks are an Australian experimental jazz trio formed in 1987. The band consists of Chris Abrahams on piano and Hammond organ, Tony Buck on drums, percussion and electric guitar, and Lloyd Swanton on bass guitar and double bass.
Since 2001, The Necks has been collaborating with Tim Whitten in the studio. Whitten has mixed and engineered over 13 albums for the band, adding his expertise to their unique sound.
The Necks' music is known for its improvisational style and ability to create mesmerizing sonic landscapes. With their innovative approach to jazz, they have gained a dedicated following worldwide.

back in stock the necks are one of the great cult bands of australia. chris abrahams (piano), tony buck (drums), and lloyd swanton (bass) conjure a chemistry together that defies description in orthodox terms. these three musicians are among the most respected and in-demand in australia, working in every field from pop to avant-garde. over 200 albums feature their presence individually or together, but the music of the necks stands apart from everything else they have done. 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. 'townsville' is their latest live album. it is 1 track, 53' 41" long, and was recorded live in australia february 2007.
