Shonen Knife / Kepi Ghoulie / JEFF the brotherhood – 11/18/09

Caught a really rad show at Mohawk Place the other night. Shonen Knife, my favorite 28-year-old Osaka pop-punk band, along with Kepi Ghoulie and JEFF the brotherhood. Kepi (and his old group, Groovie Ghoulies) has always been a favorite of mine, and JTB were pretty great, too. The new lights at Mohawk made this a rather fun show to shoot and the sound was amazing. Okay, the pics:

If you want to step back in time, you can check out photos from the last time Shonen Knife and Kepi were in town. Kepi has a new cd out, too, with a bangin’ new version of “Bye Bye Brain” and a Daniel Johnston cover.
