#Taipan Tiger Girls

[jgthirlwell]

I was saddened to hear of the death of Melbourne musician Ollie Olsen. in 1977, Ollie was a member of Young Charlatans along with Rowland S.Howard (prior to Rowland joining Boys Next Door, who morphed into Birthday Party). Ollie subsequently formed the groups Whirlywirld, Hugo Klang, Orchestra of Skin and Bone and No. Later he started the project Max Q with Michael Hutchence of INXS, as well as working in the "Dogs In Space" movie. In the 90's he formed the label Psy-Harmonics and formed Taipan Tiger Girls. Ollie was suffering from the disease Multiple System Atrophy. He was to be inducted into the Music Victoria Hall of Fame in October 24 2024. RIP Ollie Olsen (20 February 1958 – 16 October 2024)

Taipan Tiger Girls - Live At The Melbourne Town Hall - from 2017, an incredible jam with a pipe organ in the mix; their final album is also a medical fundraiser for band member Ollie Olsen

It Records and Heavy Machinery Records are proud to present Taipan Tiger Girls’ third and final LP. A hypnotic, cosmic freakout that combines analogue electronics, drums, guitar and the mammoth drones of the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ. Recorded live at Melbourne Music Week in 2017 in front of an ecstatic sold out hometown crowd, this record marks the zenith of the short but incendiary career of an extraordinary band. An instrumental outfit with a relentless drive to experiment, Taipan Tiger Girls are composer, producer and all-round electric statesman Ollie Olsen (WhirlyWirld / Max Q / NO / Third-Eye / Psy-Harmonics), experimental drummer and synth obsessive Mat Watson (Boredoms BoaDrum / E.S.G / ULMD / Other Places), and feedback guitar droner and organist Lisa MacKinney (Mystic Eyes / Hospital Pass / Super-Luminum). On Live At the Melbourne Town Hall they are joined by very special guest guitarist Bonnie Mercer (Grey Daturas/Hospital Pass/Breathing Shrine) with MacKinney commanding the historic Melbourne Town Hall pipe organ. Taipan Tiger Girls previously released two beloved and quickly sold-out albums via Melbourne indie imprint It Records: Taipan Tiger Girls #1 in 2015 and #2 in 2016. This third and final outing from this remarkable band is a monument to the combined talents of a group of phenomenal musicians whose fusion created a magic elixir made all the more precious by its temporary nature. Live at the Melbourne Town Hall showcases the improvisatory prowess of the band at the peak of their powers and bolts off into the stratosphere in a thrilling surge of psychedelic expansion. Raising Funds for Ollie In 2022 Ollie Olsen was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy, an aggressive and degenerative condition for which there is currently no cure. All proceeds from the sales of the vinyl and digital versions of this album will go to assisting Ollie Olsen and his ongoing medical care, with love and admiration from Heavy Machinery and It Records and all his fans who appreciate him for the seminal musical force that he is and all the wonderful music he has gifted the world.  Artwork and design by Luke Fraser at Grin Creative

Melbourne playlist

There is no other city like Melbourne! It sure is a stand out city. I go there at least once a year and always look forward to going back as soon as I left it. But it’s more than just a city. It’s the music from this place that is undeniably awesome.

So I put together a playlist of bands, artists from Melbourne and beyond the city limits. It was one of the more fun playlists I put together and I hope you enjoy it. Maybe there is a song or a band from there I overlooked. Let me know!!
