The Knife is a swedish electronic duo formed in 1999. The band consists of siblings karin dreijer andersson (formerly of Honey is Cool, now Fever Ray) and Olof Dreijer - who also run their own record company, Rabid Records.
One of the group’s distinguishing characteristics is their unwillingness to cooperate with the media or the mainstream music scene. The group rarely makes public appearances, most of their promotional photos feature the members wearing masks, and until recently, they outright refused to perform live concerts. Recently the group has showed themselves in public wearing masks formed as bird’s beaks, similar to those used by medieval doctors.
The Knife won a Swedish Grammy award for best pop group of the year 2003, but they boycotted the ceremony by sending two representatives of another artist group dressed as gorillas with the number 50 written on their costumes, apparently as a protest against male dominance within the music industry. Their album Deep Cuts was also nominated for a Swedish Grammy as the best record of the year 2003, although that award went to The Cardigans. It was also in 2003 that the The Knife was featured as Artist of the Week at HitQuarters, which helped them gain greater attention in the worldwide music community.

Close pals of Woofit will know that Woofit has recently returned from the Planet Tarmac and is recording his observations exclusively for the Last FM collective - Many Tarmacians have become obsessed with the cult of celebrity. There are some who long to be plucked out of obscurity and attain celebrity status. It has become increasingly difficult to define what is a celebrity on Tarmac as it is possible to ascend to the position of celebrity from association with a recognised and established celebrity or via reality television. This is of great concern to the elite celebrities who do not wish their elevated social status to be contaminated by what they consider to be under qualified , limited shelf life (just over 15 minutes in some cases) lesser celebrities.

The elite or A list celebrities decided that they should define their status in terms of popularity and wealth , thus creating a recognised hierarchy for celebrities to adhere to. Lesser celebrities would know their place and would rarely encounter a celebrity from the upper echelons of fame. More recently lower status celebrities, particularly those of middle caste status have united with the lower caste celebrities and have taken direct and sometimes violent action to overthrow the elite celebrities. The response by the elite celebrities was to declare a state of emergency, introduce martial law and employ death squads to eliminate the ring leaders. It is not unknown on Tarmac for a lesser celebrity to be dragged out of a televised film or music award ceremony and unceremoniously shot.

Olof said it'd be a three year hiatus in 2006, meaning new stuff very soon surely? I can imagine they're just going to not mention anything, then BAM, drop another storming classic. Surely they can't beat Silent Shout though can they?
