about

SHONEN KNIFE / SWEET CANDY POWER
Since their pure DIY beginnings in 1981, Osaka, Japan's Shonen Knife have been building a faithful following of music enthusiasts and the alternative rock elite. Their relentless journey secured the band's place as one of the pioneer ambassadors of Japanese rock music and culture on the international stage.

In 2019 the trio charges ahead towards their 4th decade of international touring and recording with their 19th studio release “Sweet Candy Power”.The band features original members (and sisters) Naoko on Vocals and Guitar, Atsuko on Bass and Vocals and introduces their newest member, Risa, on Drums and Vocals. Naoko describes the "Sweet Candy Power" album as "This album is homage to my favorite 1960’s and 1970’s rock music. Also I put all of enjoyment, entertainment, joyful and delightful from me into songs. Inspired by my experience during tours and my daily life, I wrote lyrics with fun and a little bit of ironical viewpoint. I hope people get happy through this album." presented through the lens of SK's charismatically executed, sunshine and candy filled fantasy world.

Their latest release “Sweet Candy Power” features 10 brand new songs including the first single/video "I Feel Dizzy," and the title track “Sweet Candy Power”.

Shonen Knife continued to tour worldwide, sharing the stage with bands such as Nirvana, Redd Kross and Sonic Youth offering performances at London's All Tomorrow's Party, Austin's Fun Fun Fun Fest, Fuji Rock Festival and the Lollapalooza. In support of their newest release the girls will be touring in Europe in May/June including Primavera Sound and are in the throes of global touring for 2019!

Back in the mid 90s, when I was in my early 20s, I had tough times dealing with depression bouts and diminished will to live. Shonen Knife, a new discovery for me then, was the only thing that would make me feel better at times, and my go to band for that purpose. I love the band ever since, and Adventure is one of their greats. I've been listening to Imi (emoji) non-stop for the past few days! aya_vnv

Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham
