It's been 35 years since their debut in Osaka, Japan and this Fall, legendary pop punk queens SHONEN KNIFE will return to North America in support of their latest album release Adventure on Western NY's Good Charamel Records. The 29 date 2016 North American Tour begins October 4th in San Diego and continues through November 14th in New Jersey including a performance at NYC’s The Knitting Factory.

While Japanese culture has seen growing interest in the Western World as of late, SHONEN KNIFE has enjoyed sharing their ever-evolving career for decades, touring the world with rock royalty such as Nirvana, Sonic Youth, BMX Bandits and Redd Kross. With incendiary and icon-building appearances on Lollapalooza, MTV’s 120 Minutes, Beavis & Butthead as well as a well-received tribute to The Carpenters where they covered "Top of the World", Shonen Knife have secured their rock solid cult status as they march into the future.

The 2016 Adventure album release has already seen the band on tours of Europe and Japan with outstanding reviews. Classic Rock Magazine proclaimed, "Cartoony, authentic, moving and daft, and the true heirs to the Ramones, Shonen Knife are just great." MAGNET Magazine added, "After 35 years, Shonen Knife is still firing on all punk-andgarage-infused six cylinders on the girl trio’s new Adventure album."

This Fall's set lists will draw from the band’s entire career, with material from the band’s earliest releases to the edgier sound of today's Shonen Knife.
