THE NECKS
On SET - Tuesday 2nd May, 10pm
The Necks are one of Australia¹s great cult bands.
Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd
Swanton (bass) conjure a chemistry that is difficult
to describe in orthodox terms.
Featuring lengthy pieces which slowly unravel in the
most intoxicating fashion, frequently underpinned by
an insistent deep groove. The deceptive simplicity of
their music throws forth new charms on each hearing.
Not entirely avant-garde, minimalist, ambient, or
jazzy, the music of The Necks are undisputedly unique
in the world today.

FRANCIS PLAGNE
On SET - Tuesday 9 May, 10pm
Francis Plagne is a young buck from Melbourne of whom
it has been said ³has the sensibility of a middle-aged
musicologist and the free-form enthusiasm of a teenage
music nerd²! Who are we to argue?
In 2005 Francis Plagne released his first full-length
recording on Synaesthesia records. The album, ³Idle
Bones² is divided into a three-part narrative with
mythic song chapters, such as Idle Bones / Sinking
Ships and The Ballad of the Boars. Musically it blends
melodic pop with abstract sound.
Plagne assembles a strange, dreamlike mixture of pop
fragments interspersed with electronics,
improvisations and clunky percussive/mechanical
interludes. He and his three band members from
Melbourne make a racket with various gadgets, junk,
percussion, electronics and then let the chaos subside
as another miniature pop masterpiece takes shape.
