Long-running Japanese punk combo Shonen Knife have been hitting concert stages since way back in 1981. They'll soon be back on the road for a North American trip behind their recent Overdrive LP, on which they'll perform their 1,000th show.
The Osaka trio head our way in September, with the milestone show set to go down September 16 at St. Paul, MN's Turf Club. To help celebrate, the band are actively seeking out requests from fans, with the group also adding that original member Atsuko Yamano will grace the stage with the current roster.
The trek has the band crossing over into Canada as well, though, with shows on this side of the border lined up in Toronto and at Pop Montreal. You'll get all the venue and date specifics down below.
Overdrive is the band's 19th studio full-length and was released in North America earlier this spring via Good Charamel. You can check out the almost Thin Lizzy-styled swing of crunchy pop number "Bad Luck Song" beneath the tour info.
