History:
Some music is created out of necessity. What began as an experiment 10 years ago in a studio somewhere in Chicago, is now a full fledged reality. Interlocking guitars, haunting vocals, electronics, and spacious drum sounds have slowly simmered and combined to create Olympic Size's unique sound. This is couch music, created late at night. These are songs to make love to; songs to break-up to. With members of Dirtnap, Roman Numerals, The Stella Link, Bellweather and The Life and Times, and more than 30 years of combined experience in the Kansas City music scene, Olympic Size has quietly built a following that continues to grow. The band's sole female member, Kirsten Paludan, has been nominated for a 2005 Pitch Music Award in the best female vocalist category.
