No-Neck Blues Band

Perhaps one of the most enigmatic, mysterious, and defiantly anti-commercial groupings to emerge from the brand new York loft picture through the ’90s, the No-Neck Blues Music group formed in 1992 around a primary of multi-instrumentalists who’ve stubbornly and admirably insisted on person anonymity. The account of NNCK (because the group is frequently abbreviated) solidified at eight in 1994, and continued to be that way before calendar year 2000 when one member still left to create Excepter. After that, the band’s roster provides continued to be at seven. Incorporating components of folk, drone, psychedelia, free of charge jazz, sound, and almost everything else, NNCK possess even so carved out a unique sound from complementary and disparate component components. The collective in addition has produced a name for itself through its live shows. They generally prevent playing in nightclubs and pubs (though they toured nationally for the discharge of Qvaris in 2005), opting rather to perform free of charge on wharves, in public areas parks, and on rooftops. In addition they host displays at their efficiency space in Harlem. As may be anticipated, these shows have already been shut down often by law enforcement, but many have already been documented and released for the group’s very own label, Sound @ One, including 1996’s Words from the planet earth, 1997’s follow-up Words through the Serth, and 2001’s Delivery of Both Worlds. In early 1999, NNCK toured with electric guitar tale John Fahey, who dubbed them his preferred new music group and signed these to his Revenant label. The ensuing record, Sticks and Rocks May Break My Bone fragments But Names WON’T Hurt Me, premiered in nov 2001. Elaborately and lovingly packed in a timber and plexiglass case, and documented by Jerry Yester, the record elevated the band’s profile (and mystique) significantly. Released in 2003, Intonomancy resided up to its predecessor’s popularity, providing another group of excellent — and positive — musicianship. It had been accompanied by the two-disc live established Parallel Easters in 2004 as well as the full-length Qvaris in 2005. No Throat Blues Music group and Embryo made an appearance in 2006, with another live established, NNCK Fits the Clear People who have Mystery Gypped, turning up in 2007. Clomeim premiered in 2008.
