Wish they'd come this way. I saw Shonen Knife back in the '90s at a Lollapalooza in Phoenix. That Ramones tribute sounds fun
Hi Mina - yes, they are still going strong and better than ever! They have just released a whole album of Ramones covers called "Osaka Ramones" which is a lot of fun.
I did a little review and some (bad) photos on my blog here:

Great live band is The Jim Jones Revue, saw them 5 times since April and just can't get enough of them!
I saw the great Shonen Knife at the Kings Cross Scala on Sunday night, hard to believe it's almost twenty years since I first saw them...and harder to believe it's their 30th anniversary tour! Absolutely fantastic show, I'm still smiling!
Cheers!
