Shonen Knife UK tour-first in 16 years!!!

One of the most influential bands to come out of Japan, Shonen Knife, will be returning to Europe after 16 years with a ten date tour in the UK. The all female group, known for their optimistic, sweet and energetic twist on 70's style punk, have gathered a number of iconic fans through their 28-year career, including Sonic Youth, Redd Kross and led Nirvana's very own Kurt Cobain to say "When I finally got to see them live, I was transformed into a hysterical nine-year-old girl at a Beatles concert".
