New Weird Australia, Podcast Six: The Necks

THE NECKS are one of Australia’s most innovative cult bands, channeling experimental, avant garde, jazz, ambient and minimal sounds via a back catalogue that runs to fifteen albums over twenty years. Each of THE NECKS also has an equally impressive solo and collaborative career – however they always find time to regroup and return to Sydney at least once a year for one of their renowned live shows.

Ahead of their Sydney show in February 2010, Chris Abrahams from THE NECKS joined Stu & Danny on NEW WEIRD AUSTRALIA Radio Show for a chat about their ever-evolving career and, in particular, the new album ‘Silverwater’ – a single 67 minute piece, representing some of their best work to date.

Red Rattler, 6 Faversham Street, Marrickville
Entry By Donation ($10 Minimum)

Three FBi radio shows, New Weird Australia, Unputdownable & Sunday Night At The Movies, come together to present ‘Unpopular Music’ – a benefit to support their station. They’ve pooled their collective networks and gathered twelve of Sydney’s innovative, experimental artists – all of whom are donating their time, with all proceeds going directly to FBi, helping to ensure the ongoing survival of Sydney’s home of new music.

Sydney design crew Sopp Collective have also jumped on board by donating their unique design talents for the event poster and flyer, featuring a unique series of ‘Unpopular Creatures’ – the degenerate ‘yin’ to Yo Gabba Gabba’s ‘yang’.

From this week (6th July), New Weird Australia moves into radio with the launch of a weekly show on Sydney’s FBi Radio, Thursdays 9-11pm (Aus EST). Streamed live on fbiradio.com, Stu Buchanan and Danny Jumpertz present two hours of experimental, eclectic and innovative music from around the country.

Neither one genre nor another, New Weird Australia will put the spotlight on a new breed of innovative Australian artists and challenge our understanding of what music should be. The show will also feature irregular in-studio performances and interviews with Australian artists. Future weeks include guests Tom Smith – Cleptoclectics (August 14th) and Andrew Tuttle aka Anonymeye (August 28th). Weekly playlists will be posted in our Radio section.

As with the compilation series, submissions of music from Australian artists and labels are welcomed and encouraged. See our About page for contact details.
