I'm reposting this to Tumblr because Shonen Knife doesn't have an official account here. But happy, happy birthday Shonen Knife!!!! Thank you for all the joy you've spread for 43 years and counting!
"dive into Shonen Knife’s Burning Farm, which was released in America by #Olympia, Washington’s own K Records. Founding members Naoko and Atsuko Yamano share stories of touring with #Nirvana in 1991. + 40-year history about food, animals, and toys~"
So great to connect @ShonenKnife between *one of my hometowns* of #OlyWa from my nearby bigcity #Osaka from forever home of #Okayama + former ISP client K records / ty @kexp et al
And name check for my accidental alma mater the *infamous* "Evergreen State College" (who only takes credit for its alumni achievements long after the fact)
+ details Evergreen's "individual learning contract" – which is how i made 1996 documentary film "Hempen Road" – met with faculty member a grand total of 12 mins (he was busy writing an episode of X-Files or something). Also, name check for KAOS radio which I put online...
Mistigram: @atonalosprey made this #teletext adaptation of the album art to the single #Dizzy from #ShonenKnife's 2019 album #SweetCandyPower, depicting iconic dresses in a #PietMondrian pattern the band's members have been wearing, on and off, for decades. This screen was included in the recent music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.
14 de Fevereiro de 1992 NIRVANA + Shonen Knife Em Heavier Than Heaven, Charles Cross escreveu: "Em Osaka, numa rara noite de folga, o NIRVANA se reuniu com um de seus parceiros de excursão favoritos, o Shonen Knife, um grupo popular composto por três japonesas. Elas deram a Kurt espadas de brinquedo, um novo macaco Chim-Chim motorizado e o levaram para jantar em um restaurante alemão que ele havia escolhido. Ele ficou desapontado ao saber que o Shonen Knife tinha uma apresentação na noite seguinte, tal como o Nirvana. Excepcionalmente, Kurt encerrou mais cedo o show do NIRVANA e anunciou do palco que estava planejando ir ver o Shonen Knife. Afastando-se do local do show, seu táxi foi atacado por garotas japonesas que o agarravam, querendo apenas tocar o carro. No show do Shonen Knife, as coisas eram igualmente surrealistas porque, como único rapaz louro de olhos azuis ali, era fácil vê-lo. 'Ele ainda estava usando o pijama', lembra Naoko Yamano, do Shonen Knife."

Quería empezar con una banda que me gusta a mi, y no es tan conocida o por lo menos eso creo, a pesar de que su debut fue en 1981 en Japón: SHONEN KNIFE.
Muchas veces un género musical se concentra mucho en ciertos lugares, y no se llega a escuchar de otros países. Pero tambien es cuestion de buscar.
Hablamos de Naoko Yamano que en los 80 fascinada con los Ramones y Buzzcocks, quería hacer algo…
SHONEN KNIFE, LIVE AT THE MOHAWK (BUFFALO, NY) . #quarantinelife has me dipping deeper and deeper into my rock + roll #dvdcollection. . And in this walk down memory lane, I turned up a live set by SHONEN Knife, the band Nirvana's Kurt Cobain nearly turned into a household name when he casually revealed his admiration for the all girl power pop meets pop punk band from Osaka, Japan. . Oozing with charm, and full of three chord Ramones rave ups with winning melodies on songs about, of all things banana chips, the band had persisted for decades and is still a joy to behold. . Why was their set captured at a total dive bar Buffalo, NY for a live DVD release... I have absolutely no idea!? But it's good fun none the less! . . . . #totalrockfiend #cdcollection #cdcollections #cdcollector #cdcollectors #dvdcollector #shonenknife #nirvana #kurtcobain (at Beverly Hills, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_U2DqEjgGO/?igshid=1sfak6vwfxqc5
