No matter how many mint acts are on the bill, there's always going to be "dead festival time". Not familiar with this concept? Well - you've just been blown away by Black Lips when you consult your crumpled timetable and note the next decent act is a lifetime (20mins) away. The intermediate period is called "dead festival time" and SixThousand is murdering it.
Hang on, you can't kill something that's already dead? You can. It's called the SixThousand Laneway Markets. Come to our Welcome table and eat lollies, while we make a mess of your face with paint in an attempt to turn you into a "Little Lion Man". Win some local music in our Lucky-ish Dip, play with our giant Imperial typewriter, or suck on tasty sticks of ice! Test your poetry skills with dotdotdash! Mosey over to Coastal Shelf's tropical watermelon stand! Watch those sticky fingers on The Butcher Shop's artist tees!
Plus: Love is My Velocity's silkscreened doggeh bags! Little Design Horse's leather iPod covers! And finally, Cottonmouth debut their anthologous Anthologiy! Whoa. Dead festival time, we are the SixThousand Laneway Markets, and you are dead to us.

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.
