Taipan Tiger Girls are an experimental drone band based in Melbourne, Australia. The line-up consists of Ollie Olsen (synthesiser), Mat Watson (drums) and Lisa MacKinney (guitar). The band formed in 2014 with Watson and Olsen, MacKinney joining later.[1]
They released their debut album, 1, in February 2015 on It Records,[2] an improvised live recording. The release was a limited edition of 100 vinyl LPs which sold out in a week,[1] and was also released on CD and download.[3] TheMusic rated it 3.5/5, saying "Their highly recommended sound is a monster kosmische grind that writhes and hypnotises".[4] Bob Fish of Cyclic Defrost described their track, "Motion" and how they "make long and beautiful walls of noise, intricate and psychedelic; delicate and tough."[5]
Their follow-up album "2", was released in August 2016, also on It Records. "2" was recorded and mixed by Kalju Tonuma and received No. 1 Feature Record at PBS FM. [6]
