Shonen Knife and Creepseed
Shonen Knife makes homemade garage rock viewed through pink heart-shaped glasses, with aspirations of bubblegum pop in the tradition of every precocious kid who ever talked their friends onto a stage with little more to work with than “Hey, kids, let’s put on a show!” Several members have come, gone, and come again through the years, many switching instruments during their various tenures. Naoko Yamano is the sole founding player to serve with all the band’s incarnations. Interestingly, the version wrapping up its current tour at the Casbah on October 6 includes co-founder Atsuko Yamano, who has been in and out of the band, covering at different times drums, bass, and vocals. She’s been back on stage as a touring member for European and Japanese road trips over the past few years, but her full-time return to the roster seems to be official as of this support tour for their most recent album, Adventure. The bill includes Creepseed and the Touchies.
