"When I finally got to see them live, I was transformed into a hysterical
nine-year-old girl at a Beatles concert." - Kurt Cobain
Shonen Knife - from Osaka, Japan - formed in 1981 by sisters Naoko & Atsukolong before terms like 'riot girrrl' and 'girl rock' entered the lexicon,the all-female trio were happily snapping guitar strings to the sound ofimported Ramones covers.
Like fellow cult Japanese girl group The 5,6,7,8s, Shonen Knife have weathered decades of musical change by adhering to what they know best: belting out their own infectious brand of feelgood pop-punk.
Over the last 40 years they might not have packed out out stadiums but havebeen credited as a huge influence on alt rock acts from Sonic Youth toNirvana.
