description
Since their pure DIY beginnings in 1981, Osaka, Japan’s Shonen Knife have
been building a faithful following of music enthusiasts and the alternative
rock elite. Their relentless journey secured the band’s place as one of the
pioneer ambassadors of Japanese rock music and culture on the
international stage.
The band features original members (and sisters) Naoko on Vocals and
Guitar, Atsuko on Bass and Vocals and introduces their newest member,
Risa, on Drums and Vocals.
In 2019 the trio charges ahead towards their 4th decade of international
touring and recording with their 19th studio release “Sweet Candy Power”
on Good Charamel Records in North America and Europe.
Naoko describes the “Sweet Candy Power” album:
“This album is homage to my favorite 1960’s and 1970’s rock music. Also I
put all of enjoyment, entertainment, joyful and delightful from me into
songs. Inspired by my experience during tours and my daily life, I wrote
lyrics with fun and a little bit of ironical viewpoint. I hope people get happy
through this album. “Sweet Candy Power” features 10 brand new songsincluding the fist single/video “Dizzy” and the title track “SweetCandy Power”.
Shonen Knife continued to tour worldwide, sharing the stage with bands
such as Nirvana, ReddKross and Sonic Youth offering performances at
London’s All Tomorrow’s Party, Austin’s Fun FunFun Fest, Fuji RockFestival, Pop Montreal and Lollapalooza. In support of their newest release the girls
will be touring in Europe in May/June including Primavera Sound and are in
the throes of planning a 2019 North American tour this FALL.
