Due out 22nd of September 2023
We are thrilled to announce Taipan Tiger Girls’ third and final LP 'Live At the Melbourne Town Hall', a hypnotic, cosmic freakout that combines analogue electronics, drums, guitar and the mammoth drones of the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ. Alongside the album announcement, they have released 'Side I', the first half of this exhilarating live performance. 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. The album will be released on September 22nd as a collab between Heavy Machinery Records and It Records, as a very special limited edition run of 12" vinyl which is expected to sell out.
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.
