DOGGEREL burst from the kennel and onto the stage to flog their special brand of bung blues, roughhouse rock, and sundry sad tunes about drinking, dishonour, and death. Wielding dirty dobro, screaming sax, bass and drums, DOGGEREL always keep a tight focus on looseness, ratbaggery, and having a rollicking good time. Every show is a cheerfully irreverent affront to blues tradition that will leave your ears in even better condition.
MIRROR CLIPPERS:
“If you cant see my mirrors, I CAN’T SEE YOU” *Sticker seen on the back of HUGE MONSTER TRUCKS in Australia.
Mirror Clippers are a fresh two-piece heavy power band based in Naarm/Melbourne.
Feeding off cooped up energy from deep inside the C19 closet, Mirror Clippers rock their very own brand of heavy riffs, doom stoner punk sounds inspired by kraut rock legends CAN, heavy hitters Carusella, stoner rock gurus Earth and unapologetic punks Gang of Four.
Back in May 2023, Israeli born drummer Daniel Brates (James Ellis, Matt Joe Gow, Bohjass) approached fuzz fuelled French born guitar player and singer-songwriter SiB (aka Adrien Siboulet) and suggested they give a red hot go at playing really loud and sweaty rock and roll as a duo.
Both musicians have called Melbourne home for over 15 years and share a deep love for obscure psychedelic garage and punk rock bands from all ages and horizons, as long as they hit hard, dive into deep grooves with heavy tones and contrasts.
They both thrive on sonic tension and release.
Tension & Release is the title of their forthcoming debut album, which will be recorded at Soundpark at the end of September 2023.
Mirror Clippers is not just a concept band name Daniel and SiB came up with, it's a sound, it's a smell, it's a way of walking, talking, dancing, bleeding and head banging... and, ultimately, a way of pulling out the mirror shards of guilt while having a ball, unleashing your demons and celebrating life.
See you at the shows, immerse yourselves and let go... we got your back, punk!
