  • Description

    "When I finally got to see them live, I was transformed into a hysterical nine-year-old girl at a Beatles concert."Kurt Cobain.

    Shonen Knife are a ground-breaking all-female Japanese, pop-punk rock trio formed in Osaka in 1981, when Naoko first heard late '70's punk-pop particularly The Ramones. Inspired, the band crafted their own idiosyncratic songs, fashioned brightly coloured outfits and DIY albums. In 1985, K Records released 'Burning Farm' in the US. Deals with Sub Pop and various Majors followed. 1989 saw the crème of the alt. rock scene (including Sonic Youth, L7 and Redd Kross) covering their favourite Shonen Knife songs on the tribute album 'Every Band Has A Shonen Knife Who Loves Them'. They toured with Nirvana (on the 'Nevermind' tour), The Breeders and as part of Lollapalooza. They recorded sessions for John Peel and appeared on MTV's 'Beavis and Butthead'.
