Live At The Melbourne Town
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.
The 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.”
On 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.
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.

Stunning daily SPF
Scent: Unscented
Hands down the best daily SPF I've ever used. It's not sweat/water resistant, so not great for outdoors, but for a daily moisturizing SPF lotion? 10/10. Minimal white cast, but it's a mineral SPF, so not zero cast. Not irritating at all, no hidden chemical boosters, no eye sting, does not cause my eczema to act up, and extremely moisturizing. Most mineral spfs leave me like a corn husk, but this one actually improves my skin's hydration. I wish I could give this more stars.
My only criticism is the brand's use of "clean" marketing language. This isn't a real term, it's just a marketing strategy.
The product itself though? Stunning.

Solid sunscreen, yummy scent!
Scent: Pear & Coconut Water
Easy to apply, blends in smooth with skin, and smells yummy! It worked well in the strong sun of Punta Cana, plus it's better for your skin than most sunscreens out there.

Gentle Cream Cleanser That Actually Works
If you’re specifically looking for a foam-based face wash, this isn’t one—it’s more of a cream-based cleanser. But honestly, that’s what makes it work so well.
It feels light, not oily, and leaves the skin smooth after washing. You don’t need a lot of product, so even a small amount goes a long way—especially if you pre-wet your face.
It might feel a bit different at first if you’re used to foaming or soap-based cleansers, but give it some time. After about a week of using it twice daily, I started noticing a difference—my skin felt clearer, and some pimples and spots began to reduce slightly.
Overall, a gentle yet effective option if you’re looking for something that delivers results over time.

Gentle, effective cleanser that’s great for everyday use
This is a really nice, gentle cleanser that works well for everyday use. It feels effective without being harsh, and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or irritated afterward.
A little goes a long way, and the bottle lasts a good while. The scent is very light and neutral, which I prefer, and it doesn’t burn, dry out or cause any discomfort on my skin.
Overall it leaves my skin feeling clean, smooth, and comfortable. Definitely a solid choice if you’re looking for something effective but not aggressive.

A must have for young, acne prone skin!
I recommend this product to every one. Its a cheaper alternative that provides real results. I started out using it everyday, but found it works best around my breakouts (usually hormonal). Its help the texture of my skin even out. My 14 year old son uses it daily for his acne and the difference it has made is day and night. It has slite scent to it, but nothing overwhelming.
