Great night at Littlefield started with Pack AD who killed it! I need to take a trip to Vancouver to see them after this tour.
Shonen Knife powered thru a huge Ramones set complete with Sheena, Rockaway Beach, the KKK took my baby away and Blitzkreig Bop to name a few. But wait there’s more …. A great set of Shonen Knife material was next. Some new material was served up singing of favorite Mexican foods and a Desert Island, Green Tea, and some favorites like Twist Barbie, Ridingnon a Rocket and an encore of Baka Guy was searing hot.
Last time I saw them at Irving plaza in 93 (?) Hope to see more of this hardworking and endearing band from Osaka.

Shonen Knife Biography
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!”
