ReplyDeleteAustralian musician PENNY IKINGER is a world-renowned guitar ace, singer and songwriter, with an international reputation for her solo work. Highly regarded as a solo artist, she has also performed with musicians from the U.S.A, Japan, France and Australia, to great acclaim and instant fandom.
ReplyDeletePenny Ikinger recently recorded her third solo album in Tokyo with Japanese rock musicians. In keeping with her need to continually challenge her musical self, Penny Ikinger teamed up with Radio Birdman's Deniz Tek to write new material for the album. This project was sponsored by the Australia-Japan Foundation who have been generous in their support of this unique musical collaboration.
Penny Ikinger's debut solo album ELECTRA appeared in Top Ten lists (at #2 by critics from prestigious New York magazines The Village Voice and The Big Takeover) and numerous music publications in the U.S.A, Europe, Canada and Australia. Guitar virtuoso, fuzz queen, sonic chanteuse, primal mistress of pop – it’s hard to pin Penny Ikinger down in easy comparisons or simple terms. She has earned a stellar international reputation with touring rights in Japan, the U.S.A, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. She is considered by the toughest of critics to be one of the World’s finest.
"All woman and all business - the Australian singer-guitarist - a graduate of the Radio Birdman school of axe warfare - unveils a fetching line of balladry here: black-hearted folk songs draped in fuzz, topped with a dark baby-doll whisper ... imagine Nico channeling Sandy Denny in front of Blue Oyster Cult - and you're close." DAVID FRICKE, Senior Editor, Rolling Stone (USA)
Ms Ikinger breathes delicacy and fuzz into her swooping solo work with an ease that is terrifying and beautiful. Known for her mind warping, note bending dirty rock, she also switches tempo to deliver classic pop tunes with shades of light and dark in a rich sonic soundscape.
".... with Ikinger's aggressive white-noise cacophonies of guitar counter pointed by the compelling coo of her voice, each song comes on like a siren's call from the depths..." SOPHIE BEST, The Age (Australia)
"Incredibly cool femme fatale laid-back noise rock by Australian guitar beauty... Ikinger's voice and amazing guitar work makes this one helluva solid piece of female rock ..." LOWCUT MAGAZINE (Denmark)
‘ELECTRA’ was all breathy vocals and sonic guitar and her second solo album ‘PENELOPE’ was a shift in style and tempo, with three minute classic pop gems mix post-punk attack with swingin’ sixties attitude and 70’s guitar experimentation. ‘PENELOPE’ includes contributions from Australia’s favourite rock artists Deniz Tek, Ron Peno, Charlie Owen, Mark Ferrie, Dave Graney and Clare Moore. 'PENELOPE' was named in the Top 3 Albums of the Year in Australia’s Inpress Magazine and Time Off Magazine Writer’s Poll where Penny Ikinger was also named as Top 4 Artist of the Year.

Other musicians from Penny’s past including Kim Salmon, Charlie Owen, Deniz Tek, Clare Moore and Louis Tillett also appear in the film. ‘Electra: The Music of Penny Ikinger’ was directed by Rachael Lucas (Bondi Tsunami) and featured in the 2007 St Kilda Film Festival (Melbourne, Australia).
