Shonen Knife, a band formed in Osaka, Japan in 1981, will be performing Wednesday night at the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis. They have gone through some lineup changes over the years, but lead lead singer and guitarist Naoko Yamano has been with them the whole time. Shonen Knife is one of three all-female bands on the bill for the show at the Fine Line. Two local bands, the Black Widows and Kitten Forever, will be performing as well.
