Search - No-Neck Blues Band :: Qvaris

One of the most enigmatic, mysterious, and defiantly anti-commercial groups to emerge from the NY loft scene during the '90s, the No-Neck Blues Band sometimes operated more as an artists' collective or commune than a band. Membership is in a state of near-constant flux, and most prefer to remain anonymous. Incorporating elements of folk, drone, psychedelia, free jazz, noise, and just about everything else, NNCK (as the group is often abbreviated) has nevertheless carved out a distinctive sound despite the seemingly random components. They also have made a name for themselves through live performances, eschewing nightclubs and bars for free performances on wharves, riverside docks, public parks, rooftops, or at their live-in performance space, The Hint House, in the Bronx. This is their first label release in many years and represents their most polished work to date. "NNCK are the best band ever in the universe" - Thurston Moore.
