Mirror Clippers

Mirror Clippers are performing at Cactus Room on Saturday 9th of May 2026 just before a little hiatus in Europe to suss a few things out... This show will be a powerhouse collaboration of some of our favourite Naarm/Melbourne mates, don't miss out! MIRROR CLIPPERS + DOPPLERHAUS + SANSZU + HEAVY DELAY 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, kraut-rock, 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 Melbourne-made monstrosity 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, AI 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. DOPPLERHAUS are a four piece dance-punk band from Naarm. Known best for their hypnotic live shows, Dopplerhaus coalesce krautrock with contemporary post punk and electronica - fusing heavy groove rhythms, drones and synths into an eminently danceable live set that spans 90’s jungle, DnB & techno SANSZU create deep, dark, cinematic music to soundtrack our everyday existential trudge through this sad, joyful, hopeful, frustrating, dizzying world. We like volume, noise, swells, swirls, textures and tenderness. Songs from the heart that lament and celebrate these strangest of times. HEAVY DELAY are a 5 piece psych-gaze band from Melbourne. They blend fuzzed out psychedelia with dreamy shoegaze textures, to deliver thick and complex layers of noise. The band have built a sound that’s heavy and atmospheric, drawing inspiration from emotionally charged 90s alternative rock, crafting immersive songs that balance the explosive with hazy melody and introspection.
