Hi everyone,
I thought you might like to know that Shonen Knife's latest album, Pop Tune, comes out on 6/6/2012. They are planning a North American tour in association with this record, and they have released their tour dates.
Here they are:

8-21 Cleveland, OH- Beachland Ballroom*
8-22 Toronto, ON- The Quadrangle / Hart House
* w/ opening band White Mystery
If you can manage, I highly recommend you attend. I haven't seen them for several years and unfortunately I don't think I can make any of these dates as they are all too far away from me. However I did see them at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland several years ago, so I can recommend that venue as being pretty good.
Anyway, make sure you pre-order or pick up a copy of Pop Tune when it comes out (there will probably be a Japanese, English, and possibly special UK edition), so make sure you collect them all! Haha.
Anyway, yay Shonen Knife!

Hey everybody,
After taking a more in-depth look at some of Shonen Knife's discography I've realized I didn't know there were so many CD's released in both Japan and US versions. I haven't been able to find a really good place online that really states how to tell the differences between the two versions either. There is the obvious, that each release has different cover art [one "Genki Shock!" has a yellow background and one "Genki Shock!" has a pink background for example), but what else is different with the albums that have and foreign and domestic release??
I have a copy of "Heavy Songs", for example, that someone literally made me a copy of and I always thought it was the English version.... now I'm not so sure. Any helpful hints on how to tell the different albums apart? Both cover art and mabye certain songs sung in Japanese and certain songs sung in Englsih???

More info:
smallgang(London)
North London stylish art rockers just finished theirdebut album ‘labours’ and are exactly like ‘The Magic Numbers’ (but good and less beast like) being as the band is made up of rock siblings and a secretly married couple.They mine a silky baritone voiced Smog meets Dinosaur JR via the Go betweensand/Scott Walker kind of sound and set to break into your hearts this year and steal important bits.
Sputniko! (London/Tokyo)
Sputniko! is a London-based Japanese cyber artist. She is a forth generation mathematician, has her own MTV indents and just released her debut DVD album Parakonpe 3000 on 360records in Japan! It is full of the crazy Flash animation videos she created herself. Sputniko! is inspired by Laurie Anderson, manga and modern technology and creates quirky post modern songs exploring this bizarre world that we live in. She hosts her own children’s TV show and has an uncanny ability to win over crowds of both adults and children- when she is not wearing her ROBO-PENIS that is!
“Hiromi Ozaki is a computer programmer who becomes Sputniko! making music with an armpit Wiimote called Wakki. Also a visual artist, her performances are masterpieces of spontaneity, fun and most importantly, technology. We guarantee you’ll be singing ‘The Google Song’ for months.” - Offset Festival 08
Plus Damnably DJ’s and Special Guests!
Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes
Damnably is now a bit over two and a half years old and we have put on over 50 bands (often more than once) and frequently got gig of the week in Time Out, The Independent, and were even voted Club of the week in The Guardian! Plus airplay and plugs on XFM/Radio One and Radio 6 from John Kennedy, Lauren Laverne, Huw Stephens, Rob Da bank, Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson.

| 2009 SK Tour |
[21 Mar 2009|09:26pm] |
Isn't it great that Shonen Knife announced their 2009 Tour?! I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm curious - how many long-time fans are out there? I've been fortunate to catch most of their US tours - the first one going back to 1994. Every tour is great in my book. They are by far my favorite band. Can't wait to see them live again!

| SK Guitar Tabs |
[07 Dec 2008|10:38pm] |
Hello! Can anybody tell me where to find a good collection of Shonen Knife guitar tabs on the web? I keep finding the same 5 or 6 songs on the usual tab websites. I want to learn how to play Mysterious Drugstore, Giant Kitty, and more.
The new Super Group CD rocks!!
Thanks!

Hi Everybody,
Sorry if this was already posted earlier. I thought you might like to know that there is a new Shonen Knife song called "Evil Birds". It is on a various artist CD called "Kyokuto Saizensen 2". You can find the CD at CDJapan or YesAsia.
