Pikelet is a band from Melbourne, initially just the name for solo artist Evelyn Morris (Baseball, True Radical Miracle), who begun playing music in indie and hardcore bands as a drummer and vocalist. After leaving these bands, she started overlapping acoustic guitar, piano accordion, voice and alternative percussion techniques with a looping pedal, and created a handmade demo CD, ‘Chair + Lamp’, unofficially released in mid-2006, followed by another self-released EP, entitled, ‘Track-Suit Pants EP’, in January 2007, followed by her self-titled debut album released in May 2007, which drew a lot of critical attention and allowed her to tour overseas. Since 2008, Evelyn has performed and recorded with a band. As a band, Pikelet released Not So Still EP in early 2009, before commencing an international tour with Bachelorette later in the year, in the U.S, and supporting other bands. |
