Live at St Giles: Alexis Taylor

A solo evening with Alexis Taylor, the British musician who is also a member of Hot Chip, alongside the Japanese-born psychedelic group Heavenphetamine and DJ Mixmaster Morris, at St Giles' Church in Camberwell.

Alexis Taylor is a British musician born in London in 1980, active since 2000 and linked to Domino Records. Alongside a solo catalogue that began with the album Rubbed Out in 2008, Taylor is a member of Hot Chip. The seventh solo release, Paris In The Spring, is among the most revealing records in that catalogue, dealing with hard-hitting subjects while its music stays light, bright and contemporary. Its sound draws on leftfield pop, country, refined disco-house and soundscapes inspired by Vangelis.

Heavenphetamine is a psychedelic band from Tokyo, based in Tbilisi since 2021. Its influences include 1960s and 1970s psychedelic rock, 1980s post-punk and acid house, with a distinctly Japanese musical element running through the sound. DJ Mixmaster Morris, who is billed as the godfather of ambient, provides the DJ support on the night.

The evening takes place in St Giles'Church in Camberwell, south London, a venue for the Live At St Giles series, which hosts concerts and shows in London.
