Info
Shonen Knife, from Osaka, Japan, formed in 1981 by sisters Naoko and Atsuko long before terms like riot grrrl and girl rock entered the lexicon, the all-female trio were snapping guitar strings to the sound of imported Ramones covers.
Like fellow Japanese girl group The 5,6,7,8s, Shonen Knife have weathered decades of musical change by adhering to what they know best: belting out their own brand of pop-punk.
Over the last 40 years they might not have packed out stadiums but have been credited as an influence on alt rock acts from Sonic Youth to Nirvana.
Despite years on the road, their enthusiasm for live performances remains as they delve into an extensive back catalogue ranging from solid thrash rock through to hit parade melodies.
Key to their approach has been a disarming, often slightly surreal take on their punk and rock influences, and with songs titled Tortoise Brand Pot Cleaner they are not likely to be accused of taking themselves too seriously.
Shonen Knife will be in concert at The Crescent in York on Tuesday 1st June at 7h30.
