Video: “Shonen Knife – Super Group”

MP3: Shonen Knife – “Super Group” from Super Group, out August 25 on Good Charamel.
Shonen Knife makes it impossible not to love them. Cynics might suggest that their broken English is a cutesy gimmick, and who knows, maybe it is. But with awesome lyrics like this, how can you not smile? “The super group is perfect / Masters of rock music / Make fantastic sound / Waiting for the tour / They’re going to come and play in my town.” Seriously.
