Shonen Knife
Band
Japan
Biography:
Shonen Knife has been credited with making "the international pop underground more international" by "opening it up to bands from Japan". The trio has a distinctly underground garage rock sound rooted in edgy instrumentation and D.I.Y. aesthetics, which over the course of their long career has earned them a solid, worldwide cult following and made avid fans out of seminal '90s alternative rock bands such as Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and Redd Kross.
Their newest release, "Overdrive", is a tip of the hat to 70's Hard Rock, and a continuation of Shonen Knife's journey into the musings of food, fantasy and daily life in the Far Eastern metropolis of Osaka we've come to know and love.
