Shonen Knife Announce NZ Tour In September
Tuesday 14th July, 2009 11:26AM
Shonen Knife are excited to announce that they will be heading back to NZ to play two shows this September.
The all-female Japanese garage pop punk legends, championed by likes of Sonic Youth and Nirvana, are touring to support their new album Super Group – their 16th 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 on both dates.
Sept 22 Tues - Wellington SFBH
Sept 23 Wed - Auckland BACCO ROOM
