Our favorite Ramones-inspired Japanese band Shonen Knife will be headlining the Fine Line Music Café. As you know, we’re big fans of these gals, since the early 90s when they released Let’s Knife. Nirvana was a huge fan and asked them to open their shows.
The other cool thing about this band (since we’ve attended many of their shows), is that they have the coolest merchandises, everything from hand towels to keychains to guitar picks.
Currently the band is sisters Naoko and Atsuko with drummer Risa. We were very excited to see the two sisters when they reunited in their Turf Club in 2016 .
Shonen Knife’s latest release is Sweet Candy Power (Good Charamel Records) … keeping in theme with music about food.
Opening will be local bands Kitten Forever and Black Widows. We caught Kitten Forever’s 10 Year Anniversary show at their largest headlining venue at First Avenue in July 2016 and said, “ Although this was First Avenue’s mainroom, the show felt as if it could have been held at the band’s garage. In fact, talking to some fans, they all thought the show was at 7th Street.... and it’s not really obvious why the band chose to play at the large mainroom until you saw all the decorative balloons all over the stage and “Kitten Forever” in balloon writing. The feeling I got from longtime fans were that of pride, nostalgia, and happiness, as they gather together to share their love for Kitten Forever.”

Acclaimed musician Noah Gundersen is back at the Fine Line Music Café in support of his new album Lover (Cooking Vinyl). We saw Gundersen at the Fine Line in Sept 2015 and mentioned, “ Noah Gundersen was the headliner of the night. There was no shortage of people at The Fine Line to see him perform. Noah's songs have been featured in shows such as Sons of Anarchy and The Vampire Diaries. His voice is smooth and powerful. During his song Ledges there was a quick a capella part that really showcased just how powerful his voice is. It was the kind of moment in a song that gives you goosebumps.”
Show up early to check out Lemolo. This is an ambient pop act and led by Seattle based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Meagan Grandall. Lemolo was voted “Best New Band” by City Arts Magazine and named one of Google Play’s “Best Unsigned Artists of the Year” in 2012.

LEWIS CAPALDI

I recently saw that Scottish singer/songwriter Lewis Capaldi was looking for love on Tinder… so there’s some sort of contest that if you swipe right on his profile, you (and a friend) could win an all-paid flight to New York to see him perform.
Certainly, this is one of the hottest singer around, thanks to his breakout single, “Someone You Loved”.
We caught Capaldi in June 2019 and wrote, “Breakthrough single, ‘Someone You Loved’ finished his brief set to rave applause and anyone missing this short lakeside set, has another chance locally, as Lewis Capaldi (yes, distantly related to former Dr. Who actor Peter Capaldi) returns in the fall, to headline the Mainroom at First Avenue on October 3rd.”
