It’s been 35 years since their debut in Osaka, Japan and this fall, legendary pop punk queens SHONEN KNIFE will return to North America, in support of their latest album release Adventure on Western NY’s Good Charamel Records. The 29-date 2016 North American Tour will begin on October 4th in San Diego and continues through November 10th in New Jersey, including a performance at NYC’s The Knitting Factory.
While Japanese culture has seen growing interest in the Western World as of late, SHONEN KNIFE has enjoyed sharing their ever-evolving career for decades, touring the world with rock royalty such as Nirvana, Sonic Youth, BMX Bandits and Redd Kross. With incendiary and icon-building appearances on Lollapalooza, MTV’s 120 Minutes, Beavis + Butthead as well as a well-received tribute to The Carpenters where they covered “Top of the World”, SHONEN KNIFE have secured their rock solid cult status as they march into the future.
