Penny Ikinger’s album “Travels and Travails” has been receiving enthusiastic airplay on various radio stations, especially in her hometown of Melbourne. Here’s a breakdown of the tracks and the DJs who have been spinning them:
“Voodoo Girl” – Played on “Banana Lounge Broadcasting” by Dave Graney and on “On The Blower” by Tony Biggs. The song was recorded by Penny’s French band Penelope Inc under the production of Jim Diamond (ex The Dirtbombs, USA).
“Tsunami” – Played by Megahertz spiritual leader Pauly P on “Respect The Rock”. This song was recorded in The Chapel of Rock by Penny Ikinger’s Marbles.
“Spinster” – Tony Biggs played this track to the very end, even though it includes a brave 3-minute guitar solo by Penny. It was recorded with Donovan’s Brain, based in Montana, USA.
