- Evelyn Morris
Evelyn Morris is Pikelet, a musician from the outer suburbs of
Melbourne ,Australia . Although she'd played piano from a young age she began her career in music as a hardcore/punk obsessed drummer, performing in many bands but mostly in Baseball and True Radical Miracle. In 2003 she switched from drum kit to a mix of instruments and a loop pedal to start a solo career. She utilises delay pedals, piano accordion, drums, guitar and other forms of percussion in her music.The name Pikelet comes from Evelyn’s mother, who used to spoil her kids with pikelets when she was a little strapped for cash. “She always had eggs, she always had flour and powdered milk in the cupboard, so she would just throw together pikelets,” Evelyn told Mess + Noise Magazine recently. “It was a really big deal for me, but I found out later that it was just what she did when she had nothing else.”
Pikelet released her self-titled album in 2007. She has toured throughout Australia, Europe and New Zealand playing with acts including Beirut, Camera Obscura, Darren Hanlon, The Blow, Sufjan Stevens and Ned Collette.
