Whirlywirld
Encyclopedia : W : WH : WHI : Whirlywirld
Whirlywirld was a post punk band lead by Ollie Olsen in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the first of his musical collaborations with drummer John Murphy. They played in the Melbourne little band scene.
There were at least two distinct periods of the band: the first with Dean Richards (guitar) and Philip Jackson (synthesiser) who left to form Equal Local; the second with Arne Hanna (guitar) and Greg Sun (bass). After the band split, Olsen and Murphy went on to form the bands Hugo Klang, The Orchestra Of Skin & Bone, and NO.
Hanna and Murphy later played with Olsen and Michael Hutchence in the band Max Q. A version of one of Whirlywirld's songs, Win/Lose, was re-recorded by Olsen in 1986 for inclusion in the film Dogs In Space.
