Shonen Knife live @ Super Deluxe..

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the sublime cuteness that is Shonen Knife opened for The Wedding Present last Saturday night. While I'd known about this band for many years I'd never actually seen them, so to have been able to get up this close and personal was pretty darn cool. While the set consisted mainly of super-safe punk-pop tunes, and the lyrics seemed to be all about sweets (or other eating related experiences, one song was about food poisoning) the girls played super-tight, and their harmonies were glorious..

I did not know Shonen knife were still around. I have several of their records from the early 90s.

They were on Music Japan a few months ago and they were just as terrific as always. I think it's great that Naoko Yamano is still carrying the flag!

Thanks for posting the pics!
