Shonen Knife founder Naoko Yamano speaks with Paul Cashmere of NOISE11 ahead of Shonen Knife’s 2026 Australian tour.

In this wide-ranging interview, Yamano reflects on the band’s extraordinary history, from their first Australian visit in 1997 to their continuing relationship with Australian audiences. She discusses Shonen Knife’s current American tour with Men At Work and explains what it has been like introducing the band to a different audience. She also talks about the group’s close friendship with Australian band Regurgitator, following their recent Japanese tour together.

One of the major topics is the Osaka Ramones set, which Shonen Knife first performed in Tokyo in 1995. Yamano explains how the concept developed into the Osaka Ramones album and why the band continues to receive requests to perform the Ramones material.

Yamano also recalls touring the United Kingdom with Nirvana in 1991 and teaching Kurt Cobain the guitar chords to “Twist Barbie” for a secret gig.

The interview covers Shonen Knife favourites including “Twist Barbie”, “Riding On A Rocket”, “Banana Chips”, “Buttercup” and “ESP”, as well as the band’s enormous catalogue of recorded music.

Yamano reveals that she plans to write more than 10 new Shonen Knife songs by the end of 2026, with recording for the next album planned for early 2027.

Shonen Knife will tour Australia in October and November 2026, with dates across Melbourne, Ballarat, Belgrave, Hobart, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Alice Springs, Canberra, Sydney, Bathurst, Avalon Beach and Newcastle. Info here: https://consume.com.au/posts/shonen-knife-re-cuttin-australia-2026

Cash Savage and The Last Drinks gets down to some honest work on the upcoming ZED51 in Brisbane. In many ways music performance is a wild catharsis... wringing out the emotional tension on a tightrope of creative sacrifice for a willing audience ready to soak themselves in the passion of exchange - Cash Savage steps up and delivers in volumes.

"In this exclusive AMN AMNplify interview, Dave Bruce sits down with acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter and musician Cash Savage, frontwoman of Cash Savage and the Last Drinks, for an honest conversation about her music career, creative journey, influences, and life as an artist.

Cash Savage talks about her journey through the Australian music scene, the story behind Cash Savage and the Last Drinks, songwriting, performing, musical influences, and the experiences that have shaped her distinctive sound and career.

The conversation explores the realities of being a working musician, the creative process behind her music, memorable career moments, and the passion that continues to drive her work."

45 years since the release of the classic eponymous debut album. Sunnyboys release via WARNER MUSIC a 4LP vinyl only version of that same release. The 4LP box set brings together the original album, the demos that pre-date it, the 1981 remix of their eponymous 1980 ep, interview segments and the jewel in the crown; a live performance recorded at Sydney venue the Governors Pleasure in February 1981.

And in celebration of the box set release Sunnyboys, featuring founding members Jeremy and Peter Oxley, Richard Burgman and drummer Paul Larsen sitting in for the recently retired Bil Bilson, will reunite this October for a very special one-off performance at Brisbane’s Roma St. Parklands. The band that inspired a hundred garage bands, hook ups, road trips and surf sessions will bring their timeless songs to the stage one last time.

BABY COOL plays ZED51

Grace Cuell writes songs as a way of making sense of the world around her. On Infinity Baby, her second album as Baby Cool, she takes a gentle look at what it means to be human as the pendulum swings between shadow and light. Where her debut Earthling on the Road to Self Love felt almost whimsical in its search for meaning, Infinity Baby is more grounded and honest. The songs move through desire, cynicism, devotion and surrender, sometimes defeat, but always circle back to a kind of hope. It’s a record about patterns: the ones we inherit, the ones we repeat, and the ones we choose to keep.

Hardcase. Rigid. Impermeable. Some things are never to be broken. They come tightly packed and ready for the hardest of conditions. Anything. The Mark of Cain are of that mould. They take the stage with a minimum of ado - turning quiet to loud. This new tune HARDCASE skates that line of shattering. Come witness a breaking of silence when TMOC play ZED51. SAT 24 OCT. Only Brisbane show.

“OK, so we normally hold unfinished songs close to our chest, and only release once it’s all sorted. And, there is a saying, “fools and children should not see unfinished things” However given that our fans have always shown they are anything but that, we feel it’d be nice to let you hear a little of what we are doing. This is just a demo and its working title is “Hardcase”, it’ll be on the new album, and no, it’s not about Kim. We will be playing this and a few others on this tour. I’m still finishing lyrics for a lot of these - but this at least gives you an idea on things to come.” - Jo
