Damnably & Magic Teapot presents Shonen Knife at the Brixton Windmill

Event information

Legendary and influential, this all-female pop-punk trio started life apparently way back in 1981 but it was not until the likes of Somic Youth and Nirvana started championing heavily in the early 90s that they achieved recognition in the west.

Writing happy songs about creature comforts such as cookies, sushi, jelly beans, hot chocolate and banana chips, they mix up 60s girlgroup sounds with a love of The Ramones.

It's been well over a decade since they hit Europe though throughout that time they have kept recording with their cult status fully intact.
They've a brand new album out called 'Super Group' and it sounds just as god as they always did - if you possess a classic pop sound there's no need to mess around with it!

"When I finally got to see them live, I was transformed into a hysterical nine-year-old girl at a Beatles concert." Kurt Cobain

No Cars
London based Japanese female trio who also write songs about food in a catchy scuzzy 50's garage-pop style. The band share a contagious sense of humour making their live shows incredible fun.


"No Cars are a bubblegum band, and the audience is chewing. “We have to go back to Japan now but we see you later!” the singer announces - and though we don’t believe her, we’re happy to encourage the new Queens of Cute." Artrocker
