Dream a Little Dream | For the Record #17
Hosts Maja and Siobhan are fresh and natural fronting the night and bring what they like to call ‘chaotic MCing’ to keep us entertained between acts. Their effortless banter and truly random segues alone would have me coming back month after month. Even if Siobhan’s penis hands will haunt until my dying days.
Pollinator, December 2019
Be warned: this is no ordinary arts event. Without an audience, a ticketing system or a public Facebook event, Pollinator takes a gorgeous leap away from commercialisation and product-based creative work. Instead, this is a space created by artists, for artists, with the express purpose to experiment, play and explore their own craft.
WHAM! BAM! Cabaret SLAM! | Ruckus Brisbane
And no, I’m not in the midst of a 90s flashback to Homebake, bleach blonde undercut, flanny and all. This is Brisbane’s newest scratch night - WHAM! BAM! Cabaret SLAM! Here, local artists of all shapes, sizes, modalities and talents levels will battle it out once a month for fortune ($100) and glory (the coveted and elusive full audience ‘Space NEEEEeeeddddllllleee’).
Pub Choir
So, what makes Pub Choir, so popular? A lot of it comes down to the able direction of Astrid and Guitar Wizard, Waverney Yasso, who live by the ethos that everybody can sing, and it’s their mission to prove it. Each month, they choose a song, break it down into harmonies and effortlessly guide the group through the song until they’re singing in glorious harmony. All in under 90 minutes.
