Japanese garage pop legends in Melbourne For the first time in over 10 years, legendary all-chick Japanese band Shonen Knife hit Australian shores to rock our worlds with their girly garage pop. They're playing at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne on Sept 24. http://www.cornerhotel.com/ While I'm more of a 5.6.7.8s fan myself, I saw Shonen Knife at the Big Day Out in 1997, and they really are a cool live act - with a way tougher sound than their records suggest. And so adorable!
