SHONEN KNIFE RETURN TO SEATTLE!

SHONEN KNIFE RETURN TO THE NORTHWEST THIS MONTH!

After a six year absence, the power punk trio from Japan - SHONEN KNIFE - return for a brand new US Tour in support of their latest album, “Our Best Place”.


The tour kicked off in Buffalo, NY and is making its way to the grand finale in the Pacific Northwest stops of Seattle on October 25th with two shows (an early show featuring an Osaka Ramones inspired set and the late show which has already sold out - both at the Tractor Tavern).

Naoka (guitar/vocals), Atsuko (bass/backing vocals) and Risa (drums/backing vocals) haven't toured the US in six years.  Their long standing reputation as a tremendous live act coupled with their extensive catalog of music has made them a high in demand touring group.  Don't miss out!
