Launching NEW EP: Stay Alive

About Me

“…their funk, groove, rock and jazz fusion goes off like a ball of energy,” Lauren McMenemy (Adelaide Advertiser, March 2006).

Six piece Aussie Funk 'n Roots band, The NEO have just returned home from a summer tour of Queensland, New South Wales and Melbourne, including gigs at the massive Woodford Folk Festival. They've just had time to launch their new EP "Stay Alive", before heading off to the Adelaide Fringe Festival. This is a culmination of a big 12 months for The NEO , including playing at the 2007 East Coast Blues and Roots Festival, Byron Bay, getting their audiences up and dancing everywhere.

Independent powerfunk sensation, The NEO plays soul-fuel for wild dancing. Their high-energy performances; infusions of funk, reggae, rock, blues, folk, ska and groove, are delightfully blended by intoxicating lyrics and overtones of flirtatious flute and commanding harmonica melodies.

The NEO's second album Serotonin was produced, directed and performed by the band. This double album includes 14 studio tracks as well as the live CD Cheap Therapy, recorded live to air on ABC Radio.
