Shonen Knife return to Summerhall as part of their 40th anniversary UK tour! Shonen Knife are a ground-breaking all-female Japanese, pop-punk rock trio formed in Osaka in 1981, when Naoko Yamana first heard late ‘70’s punk-pop, particularly The Ramones. Inspired, the band crafted their own idiosyncratic songs, fashioned brightly coloured outfits and DIY albums. ‘We started Shonen Knife on 29th December 1981 when we did the first rehearsal in Osaka. This year is the 40th anniversary of the band. Thanks to our fans, all members of the band and staff, I could continue the band. But actually, I can’t believe that so many years have passed. My band motto is: ‘Let’s have fun!’ I would like to continue to make people and ourselves happy through our music. See you at our 40th Anniversary UK tour!’ – Naoko
