about

(I'm) Stranded is a beautiful re-imagining of the classic Saints song by the incredible singer and guitar ace, PENNY IKINGER.

Penny Ikinger supported The Saints when her impressive career started as guitarist in Wet Taxis with Louis Tillett, going on to perform and record with many acclaimed artists such as Deniz Tek (Radio Birdman), Kim Salmon and the Sacred Cowboys, before launching her solo career.

(I’m) Stranded - the single - was recorded and produced by Richard Andrew at Pharmacy Studios. Richard also played drums, percussion, bass and keyboard on the track. Listen here: almostamirror.bandcamp.com/track/im-stranded

(I'm) Stranded is the featured single for the Almost a Mirror podcast, Episode 3, produced and written by Kirsten Krauth - which focuses on the early Saints, the making of the song, and life in Brisbane in the 70s.

It features interviews with Chris Bailey and Ed Kuepper from The Saints, Jeffrey Wegener, Tex Perkins, Ursula Medew, Jodi Adams and many more.

Penny’s debut album Electra (Career Records, USA/ Bang! Records, Spain) was filled with breathy vocals and sonic guitar exploring the aural landscape where sonic disfigurement entwines with femme fatale pop. 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 USA, Europe, Canada and Australia.

The release of Penny’s second album Penelope (Citadel Records, Australia), signaled her evolving sound with a style and tempo shift. This album, full of stories of life, love and redemption, is also a collection of three-minute classic pop gems that mix post-punk attack with swingin’ 60’s attitude and 70’s guitar experimentation. The calibre of Penny’s musical peers is evident with contributions from Australia’s favourite rock artists Deniz Tek, Ron Peno, Charlie Owen, Mark Ferrie, Dave Graney and Clare Moore.

Constantly seeking to push her songwriting skills, Penny once again teamed up with legendary Radio Birdman guitarist Deniz Tek to produce her much anticipated third solo album Tokyo released in 2018 on Kerosene Records (Japan) and Off The Hip Records (Australia). With the generous help of the Australia-Japan Foundation, the album was recorded in Tokyo and combines Penny’s unique sound with the talent of three of Tokyo’s psychedelic rock icons - Masami Kawaguchi, Louise Inage and Keiichi Sakai. It is a unique artistic collaboration, seldom attempted between these diverse music scenes.

Her unique history and music has been the subject of a documentary, Electra: The Music Of Penny Ikinger in which Penny is interviewed by Chrissy Amphlett (Divinyls). The film was directed by Rachael Lucas (Bondi Tsunami ) and featured at the St Kilda Film Festival, Melbourne, Australia.
