  • Formed in 1981 in Osaka, Japan, Shonen Knife is an acclaimed punk-rock band known for its idiosyncratic songs with positive lyrics centered around animals, food, and fun. A best-kept-secret of underground-rock fans throughout the '80s, the all-female band's music was introduced to new audiences in 1991 when Kurt Cobain invited them to be the opening act for Nirvana's UK tour supporting the album Nevermind. Remarkably, Shonen Knife has released 21 studio albums, the most recent being 2019's Sweet Candy Power. While on a Houston tour stop, the band visited Skyline Sessions to record "Buttercup (I'm a Super Girl)" from the Powerpuff Girls soundtrack, the title single from Sweet Candy Power, and the SK classic "Banana Chips."

    Shonen knife still kicking hard and punky, poppy and solid rock. Best japanese band in this old man's opinion. Rock and Roll hall of fame anyone?

    My 6 year old has just discovered The Powerpuff Girls, so I just played the "Buttercup" video for her & she LOVED it. She asked me to play it again & I put this video on & she also loved it. She said: "They're all girls!", which she thought was absolutely great.
    Thank you for showing generations of girls how to rock out.

    I went to see Shonen Knife when they supported Nirvana at the Glasgow University Queen Margaret Union in 1991…I went along specifically to tape Shonen Knife’s performance, and once they were done I buggered off! I couldn’t care less about Nirvana at the time!
    If I’d known then what I know now, I’d have stayed and taped Nirvana too!
    But hey ho! I got what I wanted at the time!
