Noisey, krauty and dark: EXEK's album 'Advertise Here' is droll and introspective, the Melbourne five-piece exploring post-punk, funk, dub and krautrock throughout. Each song drowns in covered meanings, with farcical one-liners and jiving guitar riffs littered across the record. Performing for our Season IV program in 2022, EXEK packed The Nest with guests to celebrate their distinct musical blend and sardonic style.
Watch EXEK perform the dry and rolling "(I'm After) Your Best Interest", with Jeremy Elphick directing the fan favourite from the album, weaving in between each band member while exploring the round at Phoenix Central Park.

Phoenix Central Park is Sydney’s newest contemporary performance space and gallery promoting genuine artistic risk-taking and unique collaborations that are as bold as the building’s multi-award-winning architecture.
As the singular vision of philanthropist Judith Neilson AM, well-known as the founder and owner of Sydney’s prized White Rabbit Gallery, Phoenix serves as a creative beacon for adventurous artists and audiences alike.
Live at Phoenix is a live performance film series by Phoenix Central Park capturing stellar performances by exceptional artists. Running in parallel to Phoenix Central Park’s agenda-setting weekly free concerts, the series gives as much voice to the creatives behind the camera as it does the performers themselves. Each episode is a unique pairing of musician and filmmaker, resulting in an elevated performance inspired by the sculptural surrounds of The Nest. Live at Phoenix has featured Kelly Lee Owens, Liars, Superorganism, Genesis Owusu, EXEK, Jonti, IJALE, e4444e, Aphir, among many others.
