[PUNK] The all-female Japanese punk band Shonen Knife kind of look like they’ve just stepped out of a Scooby Doo cartoon from the 1970s. Wearing color coordinated outfits and loudly singing fun lyrics in both English and Japanese, you feel as though these three ladies are about to reveal their superpowers to the audience at any moment. And they do, because their superpowers are playing crazy fun pop punk songs inspired in equal parts by the Ramones and the PowerPuff Girls. Though they’re from Osaka, Japan, they have a pretty solid fan base in Buffalo since signing with Robby Takac’s Good Charamel Records almost a decade ago. Shonen Knife return to Buffalo for a show at the Studio at the Waiting Room on Tuesday, April 25 with support from dreambeaches and Matthew Danger Lippman.
