Penny Ikinger will perform solo on the Locals Stage at Alfred Square, St Kilda (near the Esplanade Hotel) at 7pm sharp as part of the stunning ST KILDA FESTIVAL line-up for 2025. It promises to be a massive feast of summer festivities including an outstanding and diverse line-up stacked with Australian music icons and rising stars.
Penny Ikinger is an antipodean rock maestro with an outstanding pedigree. With her iconic guitar ‘The Pennycaster’ she is a fuzz queen, sonic chanteuse and primal mistress of dark folk who wows her audiences at home in Australia and beyond.
“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 song draped in fuzz, topped with a dark baby-doll whisper…imagine Nico channelling Sandy Denny in front of Blue Oyster Cult- and you’re close.” David Fricke, Senior Editor, Rolling Stone (USA).
“Toe-nail polish and noise guitar. Sexy silvery sandals and breathy, twisting and turning vocals. I bet they stare at her guitar and worship at her feet back in her native Australia” Sally Green, Mohair Sweets (USA).
