Shonen Knife w/ the Strange Boys & the Lovvers

This event has already occurred.

Often credited with opening the underground pop scene to include bands from Japan, Shonen Knife has been recording stripped-down pop-punk for 27 years now. Heavily influenced by ’80s bands like the Buzzcocks and the Ramones, as a side project they’ve been known to play live gigs as “The Osaka Ramones.” Their most recent release, 2008’s Supergroup, takes cues from girl groups of the ’60s (as do their wardrobes), while maintaining a rough-edged, garage-y sound. Before they take center stage at Austin’s Fun Fun Fun Festival, they’ll play to a bit more intimate crowd at Sam’s Burger Joint.
