On Sunday, 19 April 2026, musician Penny Ikinger will host her new conversation series A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS at One Star Lounge & Gallery, West Melbourne.
This intimate series invites audiences to delve beneath the surface of music and art. Through in-person conversations, she explores the forces shaping musicians and creative minds, revealing the stories behind the sound.
For the first session, Penny sits down with Ricky Maymi—a San Francisco-born multi-instrumentalist, producer, and founding member of psychedelic rock icons The Brian Jonestown Massacre (USA), with whom he has just toured Australia—followed by a Q&A with the audience.
Maymi’s collaborations include Australian artists Steve Kilbey (The Church), Glenn Bennie (Underground Lovers, GB3), and The Triffids. He has also toured internationally with The Wild Swans (UK), Flavor Crystals (USA), and others. His production credits include Birdstriking (China), Scorpio Leisure (Scotland), and Michael Savage (Australia). Over decades and across continents, Ricky Maymi has left a lasting mark on the world of psychedelic rock.
Penny Ikinger herself is an antipodean rock force — fuzz queen, sonic chanteuse, and primal mistress of rock. With decades of experience as a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer, she brings sharp insight and professional curiosity to her new conversation series.
