Shonen Knife are excited to announce, they'll be heading back to NZ to play two shows this September.
Sept 22 Tues - Wellington SFBH
Sept 23 Wed - Auckland BACCO ROOM
The all-female Japanese garage pop punk legends Shonen Knife, championed by Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Red Kross etc have a new album titled Super Group – their 16th album since debut Minna Tanoshiku in 1982!
Formed in Osaka, Japan in 1981, heavily influenced by 1960s girl groups and early punk rock ala The Ramones, Naoko and the girls craft stripped-down songs, rooted in edgy instrumentation and D.I.Y. aesthetics, expressing infectious melodies and simplistic, exuberant lyrics sung in Japanese and English, which over the course of their twenty-seven-year career has earned them a worldwide cult following.
Brisbane’s I Heart Hiroshima return to NZ to support them.
Tickets on sale now from Undertheradar.
