Fresh from releasing their self titled debut album to critical acclaim, Mirror Clippers will be performing a very special pre-Christmas show at NIighthawks in Collingwood on Saturday 20th of December with two of Melbourne’s indie noisy darlings: two-piece fuzzed out Bellhop and post punk legends Waxman.

Mirror Clippers are Naarm/Melbourne duo Daniel Brates (drums, synth, vox) and Adrien Siboulet aka SiB (guitar, bass, vox)

Somewhere between CAN, BEAK> and Thee Oh Sees, Mirror Clippers carve out a sound that is relentless, fast, hypnotic and gentle all at the same time. The pair fuse psych, doom, krautrock, and avant-garde into a two-piece storm of analogue fuzz-driven power rock. While both share vocal duties, Daniel anchors drums & synth and Adrien simultaneously plays guitar & bass through an original hybrid instrument — a uniquely Melbourne-made creation nicknamed The Gass. Mirror Clippers create a sound far bigger than two people should.

Their self-titled debut LP only available on BANDCAMP explores themes of love, betrayal, grief and release, carried by grooves that stretch from chaos to beauty in a single breath. Recorded live in just one day at Soundpark Studios in Northcote with Andrew Hehir aka Idge and mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring), Mirror Clippers’ debut album captures the raw intensity of a band that thrives on catharsis, tension and unworldly tones.

Bellhop are a sizzling sibling two piece with a sound that absolutely dwarfs the size of their party, Monstrous guitar tones, militant drumming and brutally raw songwriting command the room when they hit the stage.

Waxman play piercing post-pink Himalayan rock salt to season your senses.
