Sundowners (The Triffid)

Our good mates at The Triffid have announced another suite of sweet (and free) outdoor events for music and vibe lovers in Brisbane (Meanjin), this time bringing the disco spirit to the Sundowners series.

Fittingly described as “the place to wind down your week and wind up your weekend”, Sundowners looks to sport a unique paradigm of energies – the sprightly nature of the Triffid’s beer garden (replete with Brisbane’s best cocktail menu and mouthwatering eats from the Triffid Burger Co) is primed to get spirits high for the weekend, while the soulful rhythms of house, groove, funk and soul will help us all unwind after a tiresome week on the grind.

The inaugural Sundowners event will kick off at 5:30pm this evening (April 5) – quite literally right in time for sundown – and entry will be completely free. Head here for more info on how to get amongst it.

Curating the sweetest of soundtracks will be local luminary Lilliana – previously known as Chilliana – who prides herself on a truly one-of-a-kind knowledge of funk and soul, disco, groove and house music from the ‘80s and ‘90s.

According to a press release, the DJ “has a deep fascination for music that makes you feel euphoric, paired with the uncontrollable urge to move your body” – and anyone that’s seen her hit the decks can surely attest to that.

Also worth highlighting is the exclusive cocktail being slung at the event, the titular Sundowner, which will teleport your tastebuds to a tropical oasis with “white oat mango gin, zesty passionfruit pulp, a splash of lemon juice and a hint of simple syrup”.
