Since April 2005, Mess+Noise Magazine has been jumping off the floors of record stores and into our bags quicker than a handful of shoplifted CDs. Founded by Danny Bos, it's a headfirst dive into Australian music with a commendable leaning towards in-depth coverage. Danny himself can be viewed as something of a mystery man, but this might just be because he's a magazine editor and therefore chained to his desk. We asked him some questions:
Why did you start an Australian music magazine?
Because no-one else would...
Who are your writers?
Some favourites from a long list of favourites: Emmy Hennings, Andrew Ramadge, Ben Gook, Eliza Sarlos, Adrian Trajstman, Samone B, oh how I could go on, just let me know if I can...
How bout photographers?
Joshua Morris, Ben Butcher, Daniel Boud, Peter Ottery, genius...
Um, do you ever have a day off?
NEVER!!!! Unless I requisition one and even then I'll fill it with music and scribbles that Mess+Noise can use.
The May/June issue is out now, featuring Sir, Kes, Love of Diagrams, a Dappled Cities tour diary, Expatriate, Ohana, Sydney's Chooch-a-Bahn, Belles Will Ring and more than you imagine could fit into 72 pages.
