Chris Abrahams

The Vampires (Syd) return to Bird's Basement for a special concert to promote their latest project, 'Nightjar' keyboard player Chris Abrahams. One third of the legendary improvised minimalism trio, The Necks, Chris Abrahams is a great match for the band, bringing an expansive approach to their music. The Vampires have gained critical attention worldwide for their distinctive sound, with praise from Downbeat, "phenomenal", the Guardian UK, "seductive genre hopping creativity", and All About Jazz, "gold all over", and appeared at premier festivals throughout the UK, Europe and their homeland Australia. The Vampires are the first instrumental act to be short-listed for the Australian Music Prize and is comprised of some of the most in-demand and awarded musicians of their generation. The band has released six critically acclaimed albums including the ARIA-nominated and Australian Music Prize short-listed 'The Vampires Meet Lionel Loueke.'
