Since their humble DIY beginnings in 1981, Osaka, Japan's Shonen Knife have been building a faithful following of music enthusiasts and the alternative rock elite, their relentless journey securing the band's place as one of the pioneer ambassadors of Japanese rock music and culture on the international stage.
The band features original members (and sisters) Naoko on Vocals and Guitar, Atsuko on Bass and Vocals and their newest member, Risa, on drums and vocals. Shonen Knife has done continuous worldwide touring since the 80's, sharing the stage with bands such as Nirvana, Redd Kross and Sonic Youth with performances throughout their career at major events such as London's All Tomorrow's Festival, Austin's Fun Fun Fun Fest, Japan's Fuji Rock Festival, Chicago's Riot Fest, Buffalo's Music is Art Festival and Lollapalooza. Shonen Knife returns with "Our Best Place" a new collection of songs which beckons the sounds of some of the earlier Shonen Knife albums! Touring and media support of the album will be fast and furious as the band returns to touring in Europe, The UK, Asia, South America, Scandinavia, Mexico and North America in support of this exciting new release! And .... this summer this band is excited to be on the Men at Work / Toad the Wet Sprocket / Shonen Knife Summer Tour across North America in July and August of 2026!
