“…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 are working hard on a brand new album with a host of new funky tunes. They'll be unleashing some of this new material during upcoming shows, including the Adelaide Fringe Festival. The NEO's latest endeavours follow a few years of intense touring, including performances at the Woodford Folk Festival, East Coast Blues and Roots Festival, Bridgetown Blues Festival, and many more in between.

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.
