So, we're in the paper yet again (yawn). And by we I mean me. Spotted in Australia's premier current affairs / real estate guide / advertising keen / classified / city living / "community" newspaper 'City Weekly.

Thanks for having us. Here's what we had to say about us. And it's always a privilege to appear below Chris from Polyester fame, a very comfortable place to be placed.

The website and print guy
Danny Bos - Mess+Noise

Danny Bos likes natural progression and natural selection - and how they link to his media projects, like Mess+Noise magazine. "Everything we've ever done with Mess+Noise has been quite organic, we've never gone out and done any marketing campaigns for the website or the magazine, preferring it to be stumbled upon whether you're looking or not." From 1996 to 2004 Bos ran www.mono.net - a review and discussion site largely devoted to Melbourne bands. "Initially, we searched the internet for info about local bands and found practically nothing. In the beginning all we did was go and listen and talk to bands, which we were doing anyway. By the time we closed shop we had something like 10,000 registered artists and 100,000 users." In mono's final months, city-based Bos began dreaming of "working on something I could set fire to if the mood took me". So he started the bound, 72-page Mess+Noise magazine and has released 13 issues since. "We have the best writers and photographers in Australia working with us and we give them a lot of freedom as far as pieces and length of articles go. There's nothing better than an eight-page article on a band you've never heard of." Mess+Noise magazine can be subscribed to online at www.messandnoise.com. A list of stockists can also be found on the website.
