The Knifeannounced last week that they're bringing theirShaking the Habitualliveshow, whichhas featured"absurdist aerobics" and "danceoke", to North America.Today, they've shared the exact datessurroundingtheir sets at Coachella, which takes placeApril 11-13 and April 18-20, as Brooklyn Vegan points out.

As previously reported, the show has been tweaked since its European incarnation last year, but is a "continuation," the band writes, with some new songs. Light Asylum's Shannon Funchess, who sang onHabitual, will perform on the tour.

The Knifewrote abouttheir touring intentions:

Shaking the Habitual, the album, lays the groundwork for this show. Based on the artistic and political ideas therein, we play with the expectations and question habits of the concert, the dance performance, the club and the music festival.Working within a highly commercial, professionalised and male-dominated music industry, we strive to twist and strangle hierarchies to find other ways of organizing work and its conditions. Disrespecting borders between digital and analogue, fake and real, professional and dilettante, star and cast, experimental acts and glamorous shows, nature and culture, audience and artist, blood family and chosen family, dance and action, a Buchla and bongo and the sound of a hit and a kiss.
