Petulant Penguin presents... Fjokra

Fjokra is a multi-instrumentalist from Dublin. Drawing influences from an eclectic mix of genres, he has been creating and performing music for most of his life since first beginning to teach himself piano at the age of three.

Now based in London, Fjokra is live with his eponymous band and has gained a reputation for exhibiting a uniquely bizarre and electric live show. Collaborating as a performer, producer and instrumentalist with names such as The Clash, Tyondai Braxton (Battles), Reeps One, Lazy Habits and Hollie Cook, Fjokra is progressively building a name for himself as a unique and versatile artist.

Off stage and behind closed doors, Fjokra is constantly writing and recording new material with an EP release scheduled for 2014.

The new Thoughtsteps EP is now available from www.fjokra.com, iTunes and Amazon.com.

“Unique, insane and like nothing you’ll have ever seen before… we cannot recommend highly enough. This eponymous multi-instrumentalist from Dublin packs a punch in his music like no other. His songs sounds like they were all composed on a mad acid binge, whilst his attention to detail and multi-genre masterdom begs the question – why is this guy unsigned?” - Kat Jackman, Huffington Post

Osaka Punch: If you're familiar with the live music scene in Brisbane, you probably fall into one of two categories: you're a fan of Osaka Punch! (formerly The Kidney Thieves), or you've heard the name, and are yet to witness the spectacle of their live show firsthand.

On the eve of their first official release, the growing hype surrounding this local act is based solely on a virtuosic high-energy live performance showcasing the group's ability to straddle any genre from authentic old-school funk to extreme modern metal. This flexibility has caused critics to draw comparisons to Frank Zappa and Mr Bungle, and has already earned them support slots with high-profile international acts and the creme-de-la-creme of the popular Australian scene.
