Shonen Knife - Osaka Ramones
Shonen Knife - Blitzkrieg Bop. 4 . Nov . 2011@The Bottom of the Hill
Shonen Knife celebrate their 30th Anniversary by paying tribute to
their "biggest musical inspirations," The Ramones! The album
features 13 Ramones classics, performed by the band as “Osaka
Ramones” and released in conjunction with their 30th Anniversary
tour. Out in Europe on Damnably Records.
What do you need to know about this record?
"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 recorded
and mixed between Osaka, JP and New York over the last year and
was co‐produced by Robby Takac of the American rock band Goo Goo Dolls.
Who are Shonen Knife?
“When I finally got to see them live, I was transformed into a
hysterical nine‐year‐old girl at a Beatles concert.” Kurt Cobain
Osaka, Japan’s Shonen Knife formed in 1981, when Naoko first heard
The Ramones. Inspired, the band crafted their own idiosyncratic
songs, fashioned brightly coloured outfits and DIY albums. In 1985, K
Records released ‘Burning Farm’ in the US. Deals with Sub Pop and
various Majors followed. 1989 saw the crème of the alt. rock scene
(including Sonic Youth, L7 and Redd Kross) covering their favourite
Shonen Knife songs on the tribute album ‘Every Band Has A Shonen
Knife Who Loves Them’, toured with Nirvana, The Breeders and as
part of Lollapalooza. They recorded sessions for John Peel and
appeared on MTV’s ‘Beavis and Butthead’. In 2010 the band played
Matt Groening’s curated ATP, and toured the UK, Europe, North
America, China & Taiwan. 2011 marks the band’s 30th year since its
inception (featuring Naoko's sister Atsuko and their friend,
bassist/vocalist Michie) to their current lineup featuring members
Ritsuko (b,v) and Emi (dr,v), SK have maintained their rightful place in
the ever changing indie rock scene.
Naoko, Shonen Knife on “The Ramones”:
"Ramones were my all‐time idols since I first heard their music from a
radio and rushed to a record shop. This year is the 30th anniversary of
Shonen Knife. For celebration, we decided to record a cover album of
our favorite band the Ramones. The title is "Osaka Ramones" with our
respect. I'm very happy to release an Osaka Ramones project and to
recognize their contribution to the evolution of Shonen Knife."
