Steeped in power pop and armed with classic melodies, The On and Ons are heading to Melbourne to launch their fourth full studio album, “Let Ya Hair Down”, in May.
They’ll appear at George Lane with The Penny Ikinger Band on Friday, May 5.
The On and Ons were formed by brothers Glenn (vocals and guitar) and Brian Morris (drums and vocals) in Sydney in 2015. Their key influence is ‘60s/’70s rock harmonies and they toured Australia and the USA with Paul Collins (ex-The Nerves) as his backing band.
Originally a five-piece, The On and Ons are now a trio that includes ex Hoodoo Gurus bassist Clyde Bramley. Glenn (vocals and guitar) is a former member of the Screaming Tribesmen and Kings of the Sun.

Penny Ikinger’s raw talent has won over audiences in Japan, the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, garnering a legion of devoted fans, and even the toughest of critics have been won over by her undeniable talent. Penny's passion for music and electrifying performances have allowed her to captivate audiences around the world, marking her as a truly remarkable artist.
"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, Rolling Stone magazine (USA).
Penny's stunning ability as a guitarist and singer-songwriter takes centre stage once again with Travels and Travails, as she dazzles listeners and bewitches fans with her inherent command of the alternative sonic realm. Penny's new album is guaranteed to resonate with her fans with its captivating melodies and impassioned lyrics, confirming her place as a true rock star.
“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)
