cw: Death Jumping off the earlier post about Broadcast. Matt Groening also chose this band to play at ATP in 2010. Very much worth of appreciation. However, unlike traditional rebellious punk rockers, the trio emphasized positivity using catchy, upbeat melodies and frivolous, carefree lyrics that often touched on sweets and animals.[2][4] The group eventually came to describe their music as, oo-oo-ultra-eccentric-super-cult-punk-pop-band-shonen-knife! So I went to a record store, and I bought their CD. And when I saw their photograph, I thought they might be scary persons, because their hairstyles and their clothes were very grunge. But once the tour had started, I noticed that all the members were nice, good persons. And because this was our first experience of a long tour, the drummer Dave [Grohl] helped us with setting up the drum kit. - Shonen Knife on Nirvana. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shonen_Knife
