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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTaipan 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\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein 2016.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Music described their debut album as “a monster kosmische grind that writhes and hypnotises.” Labelmate Stuart Grant of Primitive calculators compared them to ”Prince’s band in the ‘80s, not stylistically, but in the way they sat on a groove, though more abstract, and then nailed it to the wall and turned corners and took you somewhere else altogether. There is the same majesty, the same control, the same force, the same delicacy, the same funk, except this is an internal textural funkiness where the one never stops. The ability to make funk out of layers of texture without riff is rare but these guys do it effortlessly.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn their second album, Taipan Tiger Girls #2, these master improvisers threw temporal constraints to the wind and further developed explorations only hinted at on their debut LP, with longer tracks and more instruments including piano, organ and bells augmenting their already expansive sonic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"credits-label\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"trackInfo\" class=\"leftColumn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"trackInfoInner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" style=\"color: rgb(44, 51, 163);\"\u003e* Did you know IT Records is a local indie label run by one of our staff?
