album “Pop Tune”
2012/6/6
“Shonen Knife is an all-female Japanese pop-punk band formed in Osaka, Japan, in 1981.Despite their pop-oriented nature, the trio maintains a distinctly underground garage rock sound rooted in edgy instrumentation and D.I.Y. aesthetics, which over the course of their long career has earned them a solid, worldwide cult following and made avid fans out of seminal ’90s alternative rock bands such as Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and Redd Kross.[3] The band has been credited with making “”the international pop underground more international”” by “”opening it up to bands from Japan””.
It was in 1991 that Shonen Knife came to find their biggest fan in the form of Kurt Cobain. Cobain had seen them play in LA and had come to deeply enjoy their music.Nirvana asked Shonen Knife to serve as their opening act for their UK tour, just prior to the release of their breakthrough album, Nevermind.”
