Shonen Knife

Shonen Knife’s upcoming Australian tour is their first since November 2019 and marks their fifth tour down under since their first stop in 1997.

"Naoko and Atsuko Yamano are still full of boundless energy, and wielded their guitars with the precision of punk rock giants."

"They just had a great dinner at the NGV, Naoko says, but they are still hungry and want to share a favourite national obsession with us - 'delicious food!'"

"People's favourite songs are different by country."

Shonen Knife had the art gallery crowd eating out of their hands in Brisbane.

A diverse line-up brought a solid serve of reckless abandon to Jive, winning hearts and minds with three acts running over with unbridled energy.

Sole original member Naoko Yamano’s vocals remain yelpy yet youthful, making Overdrive a fine entry point to newcomers while satiating the punky appetites of the fans.
