The Knife

I have many bands I really like. Most of them have been split up for decades. Then there are the real heroes; Bowie, Cave, New Model Army. I'm thinking seriously about adding The Knife to this list. They are new, yes, but the music they have done is just wonderful. And the music videos... Ah. My one big regret about leaving Sweden is that it will be so much harder to get to see them live. Anyway. Take a look at youtube. Search for The Knife and some song name. Silent Shout is beautiful. Heartbeats (the live version) is wonderful.

It's interesting. I've never heard The Knife played anywhere outside Sweden, except in San Francisco where some of my favorite DJ's play them most of the nights I've been out.
