SUMMARY:Shonen Knife - Aotearoa Tour 2026
LOCATION:The Penguin Club
DESCRIPTION:Fist-pumping\, fun-loving\, “candy”-shouting punks\, unite!
  In the most southerly tour yet\, this NOVEMBER Shonen Knife generously of
 fer one of the most joyous live-music gifts people will ever receive\, bri
 nging their quirky\, food-focused pop punk performance to the good folk of
  Ōtepoti\, Ōamaru and Ōtautahi - in addition to their Te Whanganui-a-Ta
 ra and Tāmaki Makaurau. “…a Shonen Knife gig is exactly what my soul 
 has been crying out for. An electric and unashamedly fun\, pop-punk master
 class. 2026 live show review\, Leeds\, UK - louderthanwar.com Shonen Knife
 ’s last Aotearoa tour in 2024 wowed enthusiastic audiences in Waiheke an
 d Raglan\, and this tour will be no different. In the interim\, the band h
 as toured through South America\, TWO tours of the United States\, multipl
 e dates in Japan and more! Kicking ass and taking no prisoners\, their inn
 ate energy you’ll catch is the best kind of infection! Honestly - where 
 would the world be without live shows that leave you happier and lighter t
 han when you entered the gig On their current US tour\, Shonen Knife felt 
 the need for their uplifting magic in Florida\; their review in www.19.com
  says “The thing I’ve always loved about Shonen Knife is the joy they 
 bring to their music. It’s infectious. It lets us disconnect from the da
 rkness around us” This reviewer was also impressed “by the long line a
 lready waiting to make purchases. It stretched down the lawn all the way t
 o the seats. I joined the autograph line and got my fanboy moment and a ph
 oto with the band.” The world is made that much better by a band like Sh
 onen Knife\, and soon Aotearoa will also experience their unique pop-punk 
 exuberance. With the upcoming release on AUG 21 of their re-cut seminal 19
 92 album Let’s Knife in Australia/NZ via Valve/MGM\, Naoko\, Atsuko and 
 Risa cut into the sugar lines of their current world tour to chop it all u
 p in their favourite wonderland of Aotearoa. In a world drowning in irony 
 Lets Knife Re-Cut arrives like a neon lifesaver thrown from a punk rock sp
 eedboat. Shonen Knife remind us all that rock can still be heartfelt\, sil
 ly and absolutely essential. Grab this one immediately\, crank it loud\, a
 nd prepare to smile until your face hurts because these songs were built t
 o outlast every trend going. – (Jammerzine) The album’s original succe
 ss was famously due to Nirvana. In 1992 Kurt Cobain revealed his obsession
  with the Japanese trio\, calling them ‘his favorite band’\, seeking t
 hem out to open for Nirvana. Shonen Knife had never heard of the band\, bu
 t eagerly took advantage of the opportunity. They quickly put together Let
 ’s Knife out of their catchiest\, funnest songs\, recorded them in Engli
 sh and headed to the USA to open for Nirvana’s national tour.\n\nBoletos
