Shonen knife

As punk as pink can be.

Naoko, Atsuko and Risa make the sugar rush for the stage as these gigantors of Japanese punk pop fire up their quarto decade plus power packs and rocket to their best place… Australia 2024. Hey ho day glo! 

Shonen Knife (meaning "Boy Knife" in Japanese) is an all-female Japanese pop punk band formed in Osaka, in 1981.  Heavily influenced by 1960s girl groups, pop bands, The Beach Boys, and early punk rock bands, such as the Ramones, the trio crafts stripped-down songs with simplistic lyrics sung both in Japanese and English. They continue to be the most internationally recognized name in Japanese Rock, the indie darlings of hipsters and rock stars alike, thirty-three years since Naoko and the band began releasing albums of their joyous mixture of pop, punk, food and fantasy for the world to enjoy.
