My Hearts Dezire is a contemporary electric folk blues conjured from a melting pot of jazz, Latin, rootsie country and blues. Lady Penelope's expressive voice and piano intertwines with Wild Man Brun's passionate guitar playing and dance, riveting your attention to a complex bouquet of narrative and music.
They formed nine years ago. Brun met Pennie at a stage when he was returning to his guitar after a period of electronic sound art. Pennie had just completed her CD Journeys, produced by Steven Kilbey, with the rhythm section of the Church (Kilbey and Powell).
Pennie wanted to create a live show of her material, and in meeting with Brun, they developed their original sound, composed of songs from both Pennie and Brun, with some writing together.
They have released their Live 2005 five song CD, with Pennies songs, one of which is a co-written piece (Rocks in the Bathroom).
In the past few years they have performed at both private functions and in the public domain.

          Brief Histories;

     Pennie Lennon’s voice is original although it has been described as reminiscent of Laura Nyro and Niko from Velvet Underground. Pennie has been playing piano since the age of five and has been writing songs in the last twenty years. Her vocals float through her arpeggiated Bach influenced piano style.
Pennie has worked in Fashion and Theatre Costume design for over 25 years. She created her own look and images, working with greats such as Zandra Rhodes in ’73 and Lindsay Kemp in ’75. She danced on stage with ‘Simon and The Daimonds’ in the mid 70’s and was a founding member of the Cabaret Conspiracy Movement in Sydney’s Garibaldi’s in the late 70’s.
Pennie started writing music around this time, consequently as a result of these influences, the dramatic colouring her writing. She has played with many musicians, showcasing her songs wherever possible. Playing at live gigs, piano bars and private functions.
Always with a piano at her fingertips, Pennie has several CD's to her name. (Heart Speak 1993, Healing Bones 1996, Journeys 2000)

     Bruno George Koenig aka Wild Man Brun’s recent playing has brought about comparisons to early Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac. He is an ‘old school’ guitarist/singer/songwriter who has been on a merry-go-round of different styles and art forms; from Irish folk in the early 70’s and R&B/blues and hard rock in the late 70’s. Even though he never put down the guitar, in the 80's he changed course and became an acclaimed contemporary painter and sculpture, in the 90's he created electronic sound installations and he exhibited in the International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)1996 Rotterdam, Netherlands. He is now gone full circle, firmly back on his musical road, back to his roots, back to guitar, playing, singing and songwriting. Now named Wild Man Brun for his exuberance on stage.
