Boasting a nearly 40 year career, these three luminaries of rock & roll have wielded fun and food-centered songs that earned them the love and respect of music goliaths like Nirvana and Sonic Youth. Theyve made their way from their home of Osaka, Japan to the United States many times, but this year theyre putting their personal affection for each and every city on display. Following the release of their tenacious live DVD/CD ALIVE! In Osaka (Released on Robby Takac of THE GOO GOO DOLLS Good Charamel Records), Shonen Knife have prepared to deliver that same hometown energy from Buffalo on August 28th to Los Angeles on October 5th, and so much more. Each city will have its own personalized and limited edition artwork available at the show, because for Shonen Knife, home is where the fans are.

Shonen Knife frontwoman Naoko comments, Our first live album Live in Osaka was released in 2006, and was recorded at the same venue as this new one. After the first live album, we toured, released music constantly, grew as a band and improved. This year we would like to bring the fever from ALIVE! in Osaka on our US tour. Not only will we play songs from the record, but we are also preparing special rarely played songs from earlier albums to the present. Lets have a fun time together!
