Shonen Knife Pop Tune Tour Print E-mail

Pop Tune is the 18th studio album from Osaka, Japan's Shonen Knife, and is released on 2nd July 2012 via Damnably. 

Pop Tune we are told,  is a return to the bands signature combinations of pin sharp pop songs inspired by 60’s girl group harmonies, upbeat melodies and the pure joy in performing..

 

‘Osaka Rock City’, from the record  has been selected as the theme song for the movie adaptation of Robin Shio’s Soul Train Flower directed by Hiroshi Nishio, released in Japan later this year. 

This album is also the first recording to feature all members of the band’s current line-up.
