On Jaidyn’s Rock Nation we had the Touring Japanese pop-punk band Shonen Knife who are on their Re-Cuttin’ Tour Australia 2026. On the show today is Yamano Naoko, is best known as a founding member. Naoko is a singer/guitarist, and primary songwriter for the pop-punk of the band.

Influenced by 1960s girl groups, pop bands, the Beach Boys, and early punk rock bands such as the Ramones, the band crafts stripped-down songs with simple yet unconventional lyrics sung in both Japanese and English.

On Jaidyn’s Rock Nation, we caught up with talented local NT artist Tiarnie. An alternative singer-songwriter, Tiarnie is making her mark with her unique sound, heartfelt storytelling and distinctive musical style.

Tiarnie is now about to hit the road on her exciting Red Dirt to Blue Ocean Tour, travelling through regional areas of the Northern Territory and bringing her music directly to audiences in towns, pubs and communities.

For Tiarnie, connecting with people and sharing her music across the Territory is an important way to build her audience, gain recognition and let more people discover her sound. The tour will give her the opportunity to meet the people, experience the communities and share her music along the way.
