The Knife Announce First ‘Shaking The Habitual’ US Tour

European ‘Shaking The Habitual’ tour was nothing but a few ruffled feathers and voices of discontent, but the Swedish group’s latest stage act has been tarnished somewhat as having a reputation for relying more on theatre than actual live music.

Fans in the States will know what they’re paying for however, with the Dreijer siblings announcing dates for April 2014 in North America. The concert has been ‘tweaked’ from its beginnings, but much of the concept remains the same.

When the tour initially began, fans were leaving shows early and cancelling tickets after seeing dodgy bootleg footage. The Knife have since uploaded a tour video detailing almost every aspect involved in the show:
