Top 10 things On in Brisbane this week 25/08/2019
This week’s a battle royale. Your digestive system versus the bits of digestive system you’ve just ingested.
10) Beer & Wine Pairing Dinner
29th August
What: At Pig ‘N’ Whistle Riverside, they love all things beer and wine, so an evening full of both is right up their street. Hosting the night will be New Zealand Winery Delegat and Revel Brewing Co. An evening perfect for the wine connoisseur and beer buff, or even a Father’s Day treat!
Why: Or even a Father’s Day necessity. Don’t argue. You may be on good terms with your father, but that doesn’t mean sobriety is an option. You’re not a pod person.

9) IWTFA with Ness (The Gods Planet, Mental Modern)
30th August
What: Ness began his electronic music journey in the late 90’s and his evolving interest and passion soon encouraged him to start a DJ career experimenting with various genres. Ness’s music and DJ sets are well accepted and defined as an exploration of a wide range of deep and hypnotic techno and ambient soundscapes. Experience him live.
Why: The long search is over. Ness is here and a monster of an entirely different kind.
8) Nautical Mile ‘Marionette’ Tour
29th August
What: Fresh from the success of their Regicide tour, Perth’s Nautical Mile return to the east coast with their latest single Marionette, a hard-hitting and aggressive track about the breakdown of a family unit and troubled domestic relationships. The accompanying live show is high-octane, frantic and energetic, with the band excited to be calling in at some of their favourite venues for the tour. The Regicide tour received rave reviews and the band plan to go even harder with the Marionette tour.
Why: “…a hard-hitting and aggressive track about the breakdown of a family unit and troubled domestic relationships”. Happy Father’s Day week, kids.

7) GUTS: An Offal Degustation
26th August
What:GUTS is a six-course degustation celebrating offal. Often underappreciated, offal is a staple in cuisines all over the world, especially in places where food waste is avoided as a necessity. GUTS profiles offal in six different ways to highlight its flavours and textures, and to proudly show that it should have a place on any table. This ain’t your friendly neighbourhood offal like beef cheeks or tongue either, we’re talking proper innards from the feet to gizzards. Come get weird.
Why: You’re going to need to have your liver surgically removed at some point in the near future. Might as well learn the best flavour profiles to accompany it once it’s out.

2) Piano Battle Live
29th August
What: The brainchild of internationally acclaimed pianists Andreas Kern and Paul Cibis, the PIANO BATTLE sees the duo go head-to-head on stage, charming and enchanting the audience with a variety of classical pieces. The debut version of the Piano Battle is a concert show that shines the spotlight on two rival pianists who compete to win the audience over with their distinctly different styles, techniques and artistic personalities.
Why: The ultimate event for lovers of puffery. The puffery to which we refer is, of course, self-directed. Good job, you. You can tell the difference between the quality of one extended piece of classical music and the other.
