Awesome show. All three bands rocked. Shonen knife was great as usual. The Camel was a decent venue clean and well ordered. I would go and see a show there again.

Superb! Shonen Knife are so good!! They are high energy, great musicians who bring loads of fun to the night too. If you have never seen them live you have missed a part of your audio life. Learn the words to Banana Chips and go and see them live - again and again. Wonderful!!

About Shonen Knife
When I finally got to see them live, I was transformed into a hysterical nine-year-old girl at a Beatles concert.”Kurt Cobain
Shonen Knife are a ground-breaking all-female Japanese, pop-punk rock trio formed in Osaka in 1981, when Naoko first heard late ‘70’s punk-pop particularly The Ramones. Inspired, the band crafted their own idiosyncratic songs, fashioned brightly coloured outfits and DIY albums. In 1985, K Records released ‘Burning Farm’ in the US. Deals with Sub Pop and various Majors followed. 1989 saw the crème of the alt. rock scene (including Sonic Youth, L7 and Redd Kross) covering their favourite Shonen Knife songs on the tribute album ‘Every Band Has A Shonen Knife Who Loves Them’. They toured with Nirvana (on the ‘Nevermind’ tour), The Breeders and as part of Lollapalooza. They recorded sessions for John Peel and appeared on MTV’s ‘Beavis and Butthead’.
The band returned to the UK after a gap of 16 years in 2009 thanks to Damnably, Magic Teapot & The Brixton Windmill and have since played Matt Groening’s curated ATP, Summer Sundae festival, Incubate, Le Guess Who? Handmade Festival, toured the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, China and India. They released the critically acclaimed albums Supergroup, Freetime, Osaka Ramones, Poptune and Overdrive and recorded regular BBC6 Music sessions for Marc Riley and Gideon Coe.
2016 will be the bands 35th year of Rock, during which they will release their 19th studio album “ADVENTURE” and rock their extensive UK & Eire Tour to date with Atsuko (original member & Sister to Naoko) returning on Bass and Risa taking over from Emi on Drums. Naoko shows no signs of slowing down and continues to say: “Let’s Rock!”
