The NEO is a six piece Aussie funk and roots band playing an energetic fusion of funk, reggae, ska, blues, folk and rock. Soul fuel for wild dancing, The NEO’s concerts are always captivating, incorporating flamboyant theatrics for a unique rock show.

The NEO has recently returned home from their latest east coast tour, taking in the massive Woodford Festival, Exodus Festival, and numerous funky venues in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and more.

The tour was the latest of many for The NEO, including five national tours and a European tour, and appearances at the Byron Blues Fest, four consecutive Adelaide Fringe Festivals, two Adelaide Fuse Festivals and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Their latest EP and single, ‘Stay Alive', follows the 2006 EP 'Bus Blues', and the single 'Feeling So Happy'. In 2002 The NEO launched their second album ‘Serotonin’ with the theatrical Musical “Plug into Serotonin”- produced, directed and performed by the band. The double album includes 14 studio tracks as well as the live CD ‘Cheap Therapy’, recorded live to air on ABC Radio.
