The Necks live in Bristol

Experience The Necks live on September 6th

The Necks are scheduled to perform at Strange Brew in Bristol, United Kingdom on September 6th, 2026. The Australian instrumental trio is known for their improvisational and minimalist compositions, often described as ambient, drone, or post-jazz. Their music typically unfolds slowly, building textures and moods through piano, bass, and drums without relying on conventional song structures or melodies. Formed in Sydney in 1987, the group – consisting of Chris Abrahams, Tony Buck, and Lloyd Swanton – has released a substantial discography exploring subtle shifts in dynamics and extended sonic landscapes.

Strange Brew is a venue located in the Stokes Croft area of Bristol. Established in 2018, it operates as a multi-arts space encompassing a bar, performance area, and record shop. The venue is recognized for its focus on independent music and alternative culture, hosting a diverse range of events including live music performances spanning genres like jazz, experimental electronic music and leftfield sounds. It has become a notable fixture within Bristol’s vibrant grassroots music scene due to its intimate setting and commitment to showcasing emerging and established artists outside mainstream circuits. The space also actively supports local artists and community initiatives.
