PBS is incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of Ollie Olsen, a prominent multi-instrumentalist in Australia's post-punk scene.
For over four decades, the influential Ollie altered the underground scene forever. Known for pushing boundaries, Ollie was the mastermind behind '70s post-punk bands The Young Charlatans and Whirlywirld, and countless bands and projects to follow, including Orchestra of Skin and Bone, NO, Third Eye, Hugo Klang, Taipan Tiger Girls, and Max Q, alongside INXS singer Michael Hutchence.
