The Knife have announced their last live shows, their European leg of the ‘Shaken Up Show 2014’ tour.

The Knife said:

We are doing our last tour!

In the autumn we will round up the Shaking The Habitual Show Tour with a number of European dates. After the touring last year we reworked the show during the winter. The performers, previously known as dancers, learnt how to sing and play instruments, the stage got three levels, Shannon Funchess joined us and the show became more fun and shiny. We performed it in the US in the spring and now we would love you to join us in our dance for some last shaking moves.

“A handfull elf pee

That’s my soul

Spray it allover

Fill the bowl

Legs astride

An axe to grind

Generous actions with the speed of light

Without you my life would be boring’

See you on the dance floor…

Olof and Karin, The Knife

Regarding their re-working of current and classic tracks especially for this tour, Karin Dreijer says, ‘When we talked about going on tour again, the first idea was to make a dance show, which we also decided to do. So we had to rework the tracks to accompany that idea.’ Olof Dreijer adds, ‘I think the dance-y beat-oriented reworks we’ve done are not only made to dance to in the show, but they are also a reaction towards the more distorted material on the ‘Shaking the Habitual’ album. We keep on reacting from previous experiences.’

A physical version of the band’s ‘Shaken-Up Versions,’ selected tracks from this tour, will be available in November.
