Shonen Knife

Since they formed in Osaka after lead singer Naoko Yamano first heard the Ramones more than 30 years ago, unstoppable punk-poppers Shonen Knife have been championed by Nirvana, Sonic Youth and Matt Groening. They're still fiercely adorable, and recently saw the return of original member Atsuko – an addition so inspiring that the now-foursome decided to go an entire tour to celebrate. Don't miss them at Shin-Daita's Fever in March – tickets will be available from January 24, and will most likely sell out quickly.
