Iconic Japanese Trio Continue World Domination
In Support Of 'Genki Shock' (Glue Factory)

Buffalo Noise-Pop Darlings Celebrate
The Release Of ŒHi-Ya¹ (Good Charamel Records)
"When I finally got to see Shonen Knife live, I was transformed into
an hysterical 9-year-old girl at a Beatles concert." Kurt Cobain
"We are not old-style or new-style. We are always Shonen Knife-style", says founding member Naoko Yamano, set to embark from Osaka, Japan, for the band's second tour of North America in support of 'Genki Shock' (Glue Factory). Shonen Knife's current line-up includes founding sisters Naoko and Atsuko Yamano (the latter of whom switched from drums to bass following the departure of Michie Nakatani), and drummer Etsuko Nakanishi.
Sharing the stage with Shonen Knife will be friends and collaborators the Juliet Dagger. The co-ed indie-noisecombo hails from Buffalo, and have shared the stage with Wilco and My Morning Jacket. They are the first band to be featured in a Pez candy ad (!) and are celebrating the release of 'Hi-Ya' (Good Charamel Records). Produced by Robby Takec of the Goo Goo Dolls, 'Hi-Ya' features two tracks sung by Naoko and Erin, recorded during the recent Shonen Knife/Dagger tour of Japan.

In the 1980s, sisters Naoko and Atsuko Yamano, and bassist Michie Nakatani instantly grabbed the attention of college radio and fanzines across the States. Following the releases of 'Burning Farm', 'Yama No Attachan' and 'Pretty Little Baka Guy', Indie rock¹s elite recorded the Shonen Knife tribute album, 'Every Band Has a Shonen Knife Who Loves Them', featuring Sonic Youth, Redd Kross and L7. Kurt Cobain handpicked the ladies as touring mates during 'Nevermind'. Frontwoman Noako Yamano has been hailed as "Japan's answer to Joey Ramone, only happier, and obsessed with food and cute, small animals." (Boston Globe) Shonen Knife is arguably the biggest rock band in Japan, along the way earning immense respect from the U.S. underground, and have continued to do their thing full-time for the past 25 years.
"In this ever-changing world in which we live, Shonen Knife is one of the few consistently enjoyable pleasures we have left... bless 'em!" (LA Weekly).
