woah! the gigs so far have been incredible with soldout shows and crowds going insane and the mighty Shonen Knife rocking harder and faster than every band except the Ramones! This is a tour you have to see if you can!

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".

Shonen Knife's UK tour includes;
