NEW EP "FEMUR" OUT NOW.
About Ned Branchi
Indie Progressive Rock
Introducing our Brand New Release “FEMUR”, a four track EP written as a panacea whilst in hospital healing from massive trauma. The songs are dark, humorous and heavy. A journey through the liminal states of hospitals, altered states, desolate beauty and loss.
Ned Branchi is Australian Singer, Songwriter, Indie Prog Rock Musician from Melbourne. A founding member and singer/songwriter of “The Horla” (Originally (Play With Marionettes) 1984-1987 . "Bigger Than Jesus" (1989-91) and "Spoon" (Australia). 1995-2000.
In September 2014 I survived a horrific Motorcycle crash. Lost my right leg at the knee and was left with %25 range of movement in my right arm. From 2015 I began the long path of rehabilitation learning to walk again. As arduous as learning to play music again but music has been instrumental (pardon the pun) in my recovery.
In 2017 I had another catastrophic accident fracturing the stump (femur) of my right leg. Whilst in hospital recovering I composed the "Femur" album. This album is a cathartic discussion about healing and hospitals as Liminal Spaces where we all traverse the most fundamental “Rites Of Passage”, from Birth to Death and every fissure of our physical bodies in between. The album is dark, confronting but humorous. Stylistically nostalgic and a little retrospect. The “Femur” EP features:
Robin Casinader (Dave Graney & Coral Snakes, Wreckery, Horla).
Jack Howard (Hunters and Collectors, Epic Brass).
Ned Branchi (Horla, Bigger Than Jesus, Spoon)
Mark Hunstone (Spoon, The Feldons).
Adam Bowler (Absentee, Slow Beard).
Andrew Brown (Wesley & The Crushers)
The Femur album was Digitally released world wide on 23rd August 2025. CD launches are planned over the coming months . Currently the album is available on Bandcamp Below are links to my websites, social media and contact details.
Warm regards.
