hardhouse? wtf? :O
and yeah The Knife is an excellent swedish duo which totally rocked the Swedish music scene when their album Deep Cuts was released in 2003. It was a straight punch in the face which the then so boring and predictable music scene here didn't expect. Not only did they do brilliant tunes but they were also awarded for some of the best videos that year (Heartbeats, Pass this on etc).
They also borrow alot of similarities with The KLF. Very rarely do they actually show their faces and they don't do any live gigs (except for a couple of audio visual stage appearances). Funny thing is that when they were awarded a Grammis for Best pop group of 2003(annual award for best music prestation) here in Sweden everyone thought that they were finally going to show their faces but they boycotted the ceremony by sending two representatives of another artist group dressed as gorillas with the number 50 written on their costumes. They did this as a protest against male dominance within the music industry.
In press interviews they alway appear like

I saw them live this summer.
So of course they do live.
But they had gasmasks on.
They put up a really cool show :)
I would'nt call it hardhouse.. I actually want it call it industrial.. but then again... that kinda music does'nt really follow any "rules".. and therefor it's hard to "label" it.
Still, I had a great time and it was awsome!
I higly recommend them! |
