Heavenphetamine – Live @Lokal

Heavenphetamine is a musical duo composed of Hiroki (keyboard/vocals) and Sara (drums/vocals). Their distinctive style involves synchronising Sara’s acoustic drums with Hiroki’s synthesised sequences created through synthesisers and loop pedals, resulting in an electrifying fusion of electro-infused composition with a physical and punk-inspired edge, all achieved without the use of a metronome. Described as a blend of Krautrock and Post-Punk, their musicality strongly reflects the influence of Western indie music. Simultaneously, the underlying Japanese melodies, beats, and Japanese lyrics contribute to crafting an exceptionally exotic sonic landscape.
Since 2021, based in Ukraine and Georgia, Heavenphetamine embarked on a five-month charity tour in the summer of 2022, supporting Ukraine, including performances in war-torn Kyiv. In the same year, they fearlessly entered the studio of Kyiv musician Yevhenii for recording. In 2023, they undertook two European tours with Yevhenii and flautist Kira, participating in Estonia’s showcase, Tallinn Music Week, France’s Trans Musical Festival, and Ukraine’s largest underground scene festival, Brave Factory. Despite being completely self-produced, their singles, “KYOEN” and “IROHANIHOHETO,” released on streaming services, gained significant traction. They are set to release a full album in 2024, and their future endeavours are eagerly anticipated.
