SixThousand is a weekly snapshot of Perth's subculture - a Perth guide to film, music, design, books, art, goods and links for people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. Below you will find the latest additions to our Perth guide.
'The Pride'
A dinner party with someone else is stressful as it is, let alone renovating the kitchen with them. My reno-mate and I turned into exaggerated caricatures of our insecurities and it was only a matter of time before the accusations of laziness surfaced. We've all been there and that's why we can all identify with Bruce and Linda, who are under pressure to make space for their relatives to help bring up their cubs.
Estia
In the fifteen years I've lived in Inglewood, not once did I see a customer go into Inglewood Pizza. Not a soul, just two teenage dudes in aprons standing behind the counter looking bored. Whenever anyone would walk past, their faces would light up at the prospect of some customers, but as the people walked on, their faces slumped and they would go back to staring at their mounds of grated cheese and jalapenos.
'You You Me Us', Daevid Anderson + Steven Morgana
Relationships can be hard. There's you! And there's me! And then there's ‘us'. And then - if it ends - it's the whole ‘its not you, its me' routine. Alas, there are no hard and fast answers to this eternal conundrum of enmeshment. Hell, even if we're on our own there's still the existential ‘who am I' business to deal with.
Tomorrow When The War Began
A bunch of unfeasibly attractive teenagers go bush. Laughing, flirting, frolicking beside creeks and campfires... Something bad's definitely about to happen. Luckily, this isn't yet another of those shitty horror flicks Australian filmmakers insist on continuing to make. This all-Aussie action blockbuster is based on John Marsden's beloved young-adult novels set in an Australia invaded by an unspecified foreign power.

About
SixThousand is a subcultural guide to Perth, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Perth writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence SixThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
