Hello. Alexis here. I am making music with my friend and hot chip drummer Grovesnor, and together we are B & O. We opened for Scritti Politti in December last year, and Gang Gang Dance and the Junior Boys in Paris also. Now we are proud to play a handful of shows with New Build, and also one with The 2 Bears as well. Below is a link to a video Brian Degraw shot of us soundchecking, plus an excerpt from our upcoming release, a cover of Sparkle featuring R. Kelly – Be Careful. You can Bear this in mind so you can Newly Build a picture of what you might see and hear; Beovision if you will.

Weds 7th  Leeds Cockpit 2
Thur 8th   Manchester, Deaf Institute
Fri 9th       London, Corsica Studios (with The 2 Bears and more)
Hope to see you at the shows, bright and early, by the speakers. They’re Danish.

Justus Köhncke and Alexis Taylor are playing a quartet of European dates together in February and March. The pair first collaborated together on the song Sorry, a vocal re-working by Alexis of Justus’s classic Parage, performed live together in Germany on the Hot Chip One Life Stand tour, and later released on the Kitsuné Maison Compilation 10: The Fireworks Issue.

“Sing-jaying together at these 4 upcoming dates in Germany, Denmark and Norway, they perform originals and unique cover versions, and spin house and techno, disco and garage discs. The modern day John and Harry welcome you on their future lost weekends.”
