Shonen Knife expect to be touring in the U.S.A. in the month of November. Good news for fans, surely – as the #1 Question we get here is “when are they coming back again??!!” The tour will start on the East Coast around November 18… move to the West Coast and back to the East Coast again, ending in December. Looks like a great tour, Fans! The support bassist for the tour will be Atsuko Yamano, original founding member of the band, who now resides in the U.S. and will be appearing with the band on their 2007 U.S. Tour. No information on a U.S. Release of “Fun! Fun! Fun!”, as yet – but many of the songs on the initial Japanese release (see the following) are in english, so it is recommended that U.S. Fans secure a copy of the Japanese release!! (You can add the U.S. recording at the time of the tour, should it be released here.) All tour information will be updated as received… this is the first announcement.

Shonen Knife proudly released their new album for 2007 in Japan, on July 6, 2007: "Fun! Fun! Fun! (PCD-25056). The album features (10) all new songs from the band, including new tracks in english: “Barnacle, Flu, Ramones Forever, Las Vegas, and Birthday”. Here are some links online that will put you in touch with this new release, and other hot websites that honor the “Greatest Japanese band in the world”… as they continue building their legacy and fan base around the world. Get this album, and get in on the “Fun! Fun! Fun!” with Shonen Knife – an expanding creative force for good in the world – since 1982!
