The staff of Metroland Magazine picks their Best Shows of 2011 and writer Kirsten Ferguson has the Shonen Knife w/ the Last Conspirators show at #2... "What a fun show, opened by Albany’s own the Last Conspirators and topped with a jubilant set by Japan’s Shonen Knife on their 30th anniversary tour of North America. This show had it all: short blasts of pop-punk tunes punctuated by thrashed hair, adorable smiles, hands raised in devil-horn salute and then closed with an encore of Ramones tunes."
