OSAKA RAMONES?

 SHONEN KNIFE   http://www.damnably.com/shonen-knife/   SHONEN KNIFE Double A-side Single & 30th Anniversary UK Tour    Shonen Knife will commence a nationwide UK in August to September. Tickets will go on sale at 8am Monday 23 May for their 30th Anniversary Party London show at The Scala, as well as the release of their new Double A-side single ‘Perfect Freedom/P.Y.O.’.   From their upcoming European release of their latest LP ‘Free Time’, Shonen Knife take on Bakunin & Kropotkin in ‘Perfect Freedom’ and questions Anarchism and the concept of true freedom in our internet obsessed times. ‘P.Y.O.’ is a playful delight of pop simplicity, inspired when the band visited a ‘pick your own’ farm in Sussex; “Cranberry, Strawberry, Blueberry, Blackberry, Gooseberry, Coffeeberry, Raspberry, Chuck Berry!”, a perfect summer anthem. The single includes the bonus 60's style psychedelicious track 'Evil Birds', previously unreleased in Europe.   Available on iTunes, Amazon and all good digital outlets from Monday 23rd May, when you can also buy tickets for the band’s shows in London, Bristol and Nottingham. Shonen Knife release their 15th album ‘Free Time’ on Damnably on 11th July, available from the Damnably Webshop and in all good record shops.    Shonen Knife began 30 years ago and first played a John Peel session 20 years ago, so as Naoko said 'Let's ROCK!'

Japanese legends Shonen Knife celebrate their 30th Anniversary by paying tribute to their "biggest musical inspirations," The Ramones! "Osaka Ramones" is not only the name of this tribute album, but is also the name of the side project which has made its way in and out of Shonen Knife’s performing history for decades. This East meets West punk rock combination is now captured in an album featuring 13 Ramones classics,  released in conjunction with their 30th Anniversary tour and is now out in Europe on Damnably Records. http://www.shonenknife.net
