Monika Fikerle is an Australian musician and multi-instrumentalist, most noted for her "energetic, quirky"[1] drumming style.
Fikerle began her music career in Hobart, drumming for bands such as the Sea Scouts[2], Surgery[3] and 1001101[4]. Fikerle's drumming style during her early years in Hobart featured a lot of tom work, and used cymbals only to accent the end of the bar, creating a thunderous wall of tribal pounding[5]. Fikerle's later work re-introduced more traditional rock kit elements such as snare and cymbals.
Since relocating to Melbourne, Fikerle has continued to work in more than one band concurrently, including her current projects Love of Diagrams and Baseball, and her previous projects The Bites, The Grimm, and Jihad Against America. Although Fikerle is most well known for her drumming, she has contributed to bands on bass and piano accordian[6], and has also featured as a vocalist.[7] Recently Love of Diagrams have signed to Matador Records, as the first Australian act to appear on the Matador label.[8]
Tours
Fikerle has also toured internationally with several of the bands that she has contributed to, including the Sea Scouts[2], Baseball, and Love of Diagrams. The tours have encompassed several locations that are not widely visited by Australian bands, such as Eastern Europe and the Middle East.[9]
