It Records Signs New Instrumental Act Featuring Post-Punk Legend Ollie Olsen

Local label It Records has announced its first release for 2015 in the form of the debut album from Taipan Tiger Girls, a new instrumental power-trio featuring post-punk legend and house pioneer Ollie Olsen.

Olsen is well-known to veteran gig-goers for his work with seminal outfits such as Max Q and WhirlyWind, and his role with Taipan Tiger Girls sees the renowned muso return to his noise-based roots with the eclectic soundscapes crafted alongside co-conspirators Mat Watson (drums, synths) and Lisa MacKinney (guitar).

The band will launch their debut full-length, 1, at The Old Bar tomorrow, 31 July, with guest spots from Mick Turner, Ian Wadley & Kishore Ryan and Vacuum, with an after-gig DJ set from Antidelivian Rockinghorse.

A limited-edition, 100-copies-only pressing was released last Friday, 24 July, of which there will be a limited number for sale at the launch, but otherwise hit up It Records' Bandcamp to grab what little remains of their online stock.
