Picks



Doppelganger Indie Picks selects unique and fun acts to share with you as and when we stumble upon them! Ideally, we feature one Malaysian talent, and another from the world. Not ALL are indie. It started that way, but we like to include acts we love too! We're always open to your suggestions so if you have someone you'd like to recommend us, just email openmickl[at]gmail[dot]com.:
