On December 9th, Mute will release the physical CD & LP formats of Shaken-Up Versions, a mini album of classic Knife tracks reworked especially for the band’s recent North American leg of theirShaking The Habitual Tour. The Shaking The Habitual show was a rejuvenating experience for the mind and soul, inspiring TIME Magazine to demand it as “mandatory viewing for music fans.” Reverb Magazine proclaimed, “A performance of this scale is rare. And, it wakes us to the fact that not only is art far from irrelevant, but in the form of The Knife, we can be reminded again of its force.” This force will end with these upcoming autumn live dates as The Knife have announced this is their last tour with theShaking the Habitual show. Here are their words on the subject.
“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
