**Once a month, all the suits clear out of Dragonfly and make room for coolMART. Now, I’m not saying Dragonfly isn’t cool, but sometimes when I pop my head in the door on a Friday night and see all the young professionals nibbling on edamame I feel a bit ashamed of my threadbare student garb.

coolMART is the one time of month I’m guaranteed my turn at ordering Japanese bar snacks and fruity cocktails at the very lovely Dragonfly. coolMART is the one time of month when Adelaide’s top-shelf illustrator-artists get together and throw about a bit of the old paint ‘n Pantones while the DJ cranks sweet tunes.

When I’m not drunk on the power of ordering fancy nibbles at Dragonfly, I’ve observed the coolMART reputation for quality live art in action. coolMART features the glitter-arty of Adelaide. When you combine the likes of Gary Seaman, The Tree House lads and the Paperhorse crew, what else can you expect? The formula is.. cool music + cool art = coolMART. Makes sense to me.
