The Triffid's Album of the Year & Third Birthday Celebration

Overview

What a difference three years makes — and how quickly they can fly by. That's how long it has been since The Triffid opened its doors in Newstead, and made a huge impact on Brisbane's music scene in the process. Indeed, even for those with great memories, it's hard to imagine the city without the Stratton Street favourite.

Of course, the venue's continued existence is well worth celebrating, so they're throwing themselves a birthday bash to do just that. It's not any old party, though. It also doubles as the unveiling of this year's Triffid Album of the Year, which started in 2016, highlights an ace Aussie artist and their stellar record, and then paints their name on the site's Wall of Fame for 12 months.

Drop by from 6pm on November 9 to find out whether Busby Marou's Postcards From The Shell House, Holy Holy's Paint, The Jungle Giants' Quiet Ferocity or Sabrina Lawrie's Hush The Mountain emerge victorious — or Brutal Dawn by Bernard Fanning, aka Triffid owner John Collins' former Powderfinger bandmate. It's free, it starts at 6pm, and if you want to hang around for more than a drink and fun times in the beer garden afterwards, the evening also includes a ticketed screening of recent Brissie music doco The Go-Betweens: Right Here.
