Hey this is a good idea Luke.... I likes!!

Maybe we can now meet all the peeps we see on the board!!  

And hey, maybe we'll all get together for a BBQ or something?!  I would like to meet some of the people I chat with, and sometimes argue with, from this forum!!

My name's Nic.  I was born in the U.K & turned 25 in jan.  I live in Kensington, settling here after a long string of countries.

I have been invovled in the scene (partying and playing) about five years now... (I started playing when I started partying and I started playing about six months after Luke!!  For which I thank him, as he was one of my motivations!!)  CHEERS MATE!!

I am a keen artist, studying at the Moment, and for stability I am going to go into teaching.

Planning on moving to Queensland for a while before moving back to pommy-land to catch up with relo's and old school friends!!

I have goals and aspirations but can be very lazy hence...sometimes I can be belated yet not dissapointed!

And thats about it...if I think of any other useful information, I'll let you guys know!!   :BRG:

Hidey Ho Acca, hafta catch up soon hey?!  

Ok. I'm Tailz... AKA Reets or Rita. :w:

I am really just a punter in (rather than a contributor to) "the scene" - and get off on (almost) all genres of sounds...

I particularly like dirrrrrrty proggy, grinding breakky tunes - but my favourite sounds vary with what I'm listening to at the time. ?As long as it's sexy (and yes, even psytrance can be quite sexy) I like it ?  My life extends beyond the electronic world, too... As I said, I'm a slut for all music and entertainment styles...

I study Psychophysiology and work in a shitty job to fund my study. It looks like I'm heading in the direction of scientific research ?in neuroscience when I finish. ?I am about to go into social hiatus again for the year as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to school ?:slp:

I wish I was outwardly creative, but all my creativity is internal and expressed privately, mostly..

I love family that is Messy (and what a big family it is) as mostly, I find myself in the good company of aproachable, intelligent, caring, witty and fun loving characters (READ: know how to farkin rock out without any worries) - who endlessly amuse me, to the point that somtimes it's fun just being a fly on the wall.. ?:j:

Hmmm... that's all ? :wp:

PS. I abuse the emoticon privellage quite a lot ?

very insightful...

that explains alot reets!!

hehehe

Well, I guess it's my turn.

From the beginning; I was born around twenty four years ago and from memory it was a wet and harrowing experience that I don't want to go through again. My parents called me Damian, apparently unaware of a movie called 'the Omen'. But hey, I can wear the badge of Satan's spawn if I must.

My first encounter with quality electronica was around six years ago when I went out with a mate to the HIFI on a thursday night after ending a relationship with my then girlfriend. That night I began an electric new relationship with my funky, dark, and grinding mistress, Techno.

A short time after, through many a lucky co-incidence I ended up developing a taste for vinyl and befriending the Messy family who were kind enough to give me gig and soon enough I discovered a new sense of belonging.

Aside for music and party life, my other outlets lie in graphic design, the occasional production of sculpture and spacial design and plowing down steep rocky singletrack  on a mountain bike.

I believe that:
* The current western media is the most successful propaganda machine of all time and has duped millions of people into silent slavery.

* Life is too short (so get livin!)

* Pink polo shirts on men are a bad idea (refer to point #1)

* Prosperity will not bring peace.

* Ignorance is bliss.

* Sean Connery made the best James Bond.

* The glue on the back of stamps has a strange appeal.

* The only meaning to life is the meaning that you project into it.

* Everyone should dream. Dream high, far and wide.

* EVERYONE THAT READS THIS THREAD SHOULD INSTANTLY PRESS REPLY AND REVEAL SOMETHING (DEEP OR FRIVOLOUS)  ABOUT THEMSELVES. Take the plunge. No one here will judge you. Help us make this a truly vibrant and unique community forum.

Keep it messy.

Hi, dogs the name, life's the game. I was born at a very young age and gotten older every day since then. i have been drinking for three days and now am at skool and should be listening to the teacher.

The name on my birth cert is daniel o'connor

i am named after an emancipater called daniel o'connel  :wp: and the inapropriate use of smileis is a pet hate of mine.
i am a pacifist and it takes a lot to piss me off (and when you do its probably something trivial) but apparently i am a cunt and am good at pissing people off. i love rock and /or roll, my faves are black sabbath, soundgarden, stereolab, the beatles and QOTSA. my heros are john osborne, john lennon, st john baptist de la salle, and john o'connor.
i am lazy and a student at rmit doing fashion
i love beer, my fave is smithwicks which is only avaliable in ireland, my fave in this country is melbourne bitter, i also do homebrews. You may be thinking how did this drunken rocker come to be a little mess head, well i just love to party and when ren and suz wanted to put on that first party (mass histeria) i wanted to help. but i went to queensland instead, but i came back to help with the first trashed and have been since.

Ta da, i hope you all learned something there and if you have any questions, ask someone that gives a fuck.

Oh yes, i am currently writing a play called "pass me a beer you swine (how to deal with the devil)"

people may have seen me in such performances as "super dragon ass kidney punch" and "Faust (how to escape a hotel fire)" plus many messy event acts

Hi Messy peoples,  :w:  Guess what? my name is Drew. Just in case you didn't catch my avi.

Been into electronic music for about 3 or 4 years. I am one of those freaks that like way to many types of toonz. Main fancies include psy (yep, that's right) breaks & tek. Got a pair of those things you call turntables. Love mixing purely due to my love of the music, thats all.

Have met a few of you here and there. First messy party was Maribrynong River party whenever that was.

Oh yeah, for about 38 or so hours of the week I sit in front of a computer and help people with their insurance needs, it's great fun  :

Hope to meet more of you at the next messy party.

P.S think there is a photo of me with Narelle in the Soiree party pics....

for those who don't recognise Narelle, and can't be bothered to look .... this is Drew (with Narelle)

http://www.messycreations.com/photoalbum/Return-to-the-Lost-Soiree-06-11-04/made_ya_look

EDIT Or Drew in disguise!!  http://www.messycreations.com/photoalbum/albums/Brainblow_Slurpant/RSF_05_2_Mudmen.jpg
(soz for editing ya post, Nic, had to add it!)

Cheers Nic, Oh yeah I ave a few photos from Rens party Saturday night. You are in a few. Send us your email if you want a squiz.

narelle looks quite startled in that photo. we have to stop running up and scaring people before we take their photo.

(You can hear the mutterings from the crowd....."Who is Scotto?" "What is Scotto? "Where is Gabbo....er......I mean Scotto?" For years the legends have spoken little of this entity. For he is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, surrounded in a quandry and as I don't have a thesaurus handy, the intruige ends there. Well ladies and gentlemen, prepare for.............SCOTTO!)

The curtains lift, and from a cloud of smoke (no smoke machine required ?:j: ) there sits a skinny, pale, red eyed guy in a TOOL T-shirt and you can almost taste the dissapointment in the air.

"That's it?" one girl cried.

"Awwww, Fuck that." Cried another.

"I want my time back." said the man who had already unsheathed his penis for the show.

It was obvious they were not impressed. But why these people had shown up to discover who Scotto is.....no one can be certain.

While riots ensued similar to those of english soccer hooligans after another loss, there was nothing left to do except declare martial law. Eventually the chaos spread leading to the very downfall of all civilised society until it enveloped the world in darkness.

Not many speak of those times. In fact, some will even deny the entire Scotto era existed. Well I have found one of the pamphlets that was handed out at that very conference and I have decided to share it with you all.

******************************************

Q: Who is Scotto?

A: Scotto is your friend.

Born in Melbourne like many here, Scotto has always known there was something wrong. It was other people. Nearly dying near birth due to what is more commonlly known (but still not common) as Harlequinn Phenomena, Scotto was lucky to survive his first 2 weeks on this planet. Imagine a world without Scotto.....if you can.

Time passed quickly as Scotto left his mark on the world. Whether it was the schooltimes he loved so much (cough) or the teachers that loved him in return (cough cough), he was a positive breath of fresh air.

Then that important turning point arrived that has shaped Scotto's life from this point forward.

:j:

Yes, at what some might consider an early age, Scotto discovered his lifeblood and never looked back. Surprisingly enough, he discovered heavy music around the same time. Some have even claimed hearing him once say "Techno sucks". ? ?

Habits increased as did his love for rock and metal, although the odd bit of soft stuff has always crept in from time to time.

At age 15, Scotto had decided that he had had enough of sport. What followed was an ongoing war with all things 'sporty'. She was even his least favourite spice. Perhaps the only silver lining from this sporty cloud was his Badminton partner (how nerdy)......the one and only.........

MUSTARD.

After leaving school and his neo-facist, right-wing, techno-sucks views behind him, Scotto has since completed a Bachelor of Business in Accounting part-time, while working as an accountant full-time. But fear not, as he is not any ordinary accountant.

Messy became a major part of Scotto's life about 3 years ago and Scotto has been ever thankful for it. It's rumoured that this happy chappy was anything but before Messy came along and that it was a good thing it did when it did.

Scotto is now the resident Messy accountant and has the neat glasses and haircut to prove it. He enjoys dirty tech and must admit a love for Psy ?:-[ but it is still guitars with big pedals that gets him going. He loves all things childish (toys, video games, cartoons) as well as anything dark and wrong (Horror, Bad taste humour, Giger....etc). He still loooooooooves his vices but most of all ladies and gentlemen..........

SCOTTO LOVES YOU!

May you all enjoy the presentation.

******************************************

I hope this was educational for you all. Now who hasn't added a bio? Come on people.

fuck me scott....makes me feel my intoduction thing is, by comparison, a little inadequate!!

Drew:-  nicnac@messycreations.com

Oh yeah, by SOFT I assume you mean stuff Like Muse? Radiohead?

(BTW, you can't really like one and not the other..unless you were a radiohead fan FIRST in which case you'd be justified in feeling Muse were rip-offs!!)

But thats only coz they have the same producer!

Radiohead first.    Who didn't?

But ya gotta admit that Origin of Symetry is fairly removed from most of radiohead's work. That album is falling all over the place. I lurrrrrrve it.

As for soft.....yeah, suppose they make it. Jeff Buckley, Badly Drawn Boy, Tripping Daisy etc

Ok here goes.

Short and sweet  -  Well not that short.

My name is Luke McKirdy

I am a qualified diesel motor mechanic who refuses to get his hands dirty any more.
I was born in Lilydale and grew up in Ringwood.
Dont hold it against me !

My Dj name (Luke McD) is just easier to remember than my sir name and if you say my sir name fast enough it sounds like McD .  OK it's a long shot !

I have been playing records for about 10 years (FARK).
Running venues and parties for 5 of those years.

For some photo's of me and photo's of my parties check http://www.48records.com

Fuck it, here is my bio -

  Not just your average Dj, Luke McD is a master of all parts of the trade and a Jack of none.  After 12 years involvement in the dance industry in Melbourne, Luke?s knowledge of the music is poor, if not non-existent. For Luke it has always been about the people.
      Learning to Dj in front of an audience has given Luke a remarkable ability to play to a room. Never actually picking a style of music to focus on, he has the ability to smoothly mix a broad range of styles into one set with ease, enabling him to create a vibe and control a dance floor.
       Luke began his career as a promoter, booker, publicist and then Dj, giving him a total understanding of business and music. Since 1998 Luke has booked venues in and out of Melbourne as far as Sorrento, finding Dj?s with the right sound for the right venue has always been a forte!
        As a Dj Luke has played most of Melbourne?s most respected clubs and parties including Honkytonks, Revolver, 161, Loop, First Floor, Bimbo, Alia, Room, Lounge, The Saint, War of The Wolrds, Screw, Sunny, and the list goes on. Supports for miss Kitten, Speedy J, Nitin Sahwney, Honeysmack, Ladytron, Jamie Lidel, Arc, Phil K, Ransom, Lovetattoo and Bionikworld to name a few.  Luke McD teamed up with some of Melbourne?s best to help form a radio show on Street FM and has also had sets played on Triple J and RRR.
         After many years hard work sometimes playing up to 6 nights a week with a record 14 gigs in one week Luke has finally settled at the Lounge where he is in charge of all booking, publicity and event management. Luke is still involved with booking numerous other events and venues but stands behind the Lounge as his home. Luke McD can be heard playing a 6 hour set of Electro, House, Breaks, Disco, Rock, Techno every Friday at the Lounge with a live bass guitarist (Davarj from Pre-Shrunk) and his trumpet under the name Hose (It?s house music but not for U ). Yes, you read right he knows how to blow his own horn!
Pictures of Luke?s adventures can be found at http://www.48records.com, check the screw parties and one night at Lounge !

Nuf said !

OH my first messy party was so good I cant even remember wich one it was !

first one you came to or first one you played at?

or was it the same one?

I remember seeing at the Maribrynong River one...you played too...and I think we caught up at the Prt one (fisherman's bend) warehouse...the first time messy was there..in that little-er room?!

Dunno ...  thought maybe my thoughts could jog ya mems!!

Hi, The names Michelle,

You may know me from such programmes as 'Scratch me I smell good', and 'Doctor doo little meets oscar the Grouch'

I'm feeling home sick a little so I thought i drop in to see what the goings on are in Melbs...

But to be fair, here is a little about me..

Moved to Melbourne coming up to four years ago.. I'm a Canberra girl, but I don't really tell many people that..

I have a strong belief that everyone's life has a soundtrack.. And I want to make mine unbelievable.

I've worked in TV, tried to change it, didn't work... (sorry guys) so 10 months ago I packed up my bags, and am currently travelling the world in search of inspiration..(and I have found heaps)

I luurrvve bellydancing, so much so I went to egypt to check it's roots.
When I come home I want to fuse together this little hobby with some kinda crazy audio/visual multi-sensoral extravaganza which I have been dreaming up in  my head for about 7 years now.. I call it my Opus.. my life work. which may be one of many. :cs:

I love all kindsa music especially stuff with good rhythm, and think there is a lot of shite around that has no soul.

I love the sun,
long walks on the beach

I have no regrets
and I'll try anything once.. (I have actually tried a lot since being away from home.)
I'm not affraid to say I miss me mum.
And I can honestly say that most poms are a bunch of wingers.

I'm with damian that the media is fucked.
But I believe that they can keep at it because people should learn to think for themselves anyway. Evolution baby.

You should see the crap over here!

Hope you are all well.
Glad to see that some of you made it to Rainbow.
Luke I knew you'd see it my way he he... : ;D

HEy Shell!
How are you?!
God it has been 10 months hasn't it.
Well good to see ya on our side of the www, its been 10 months too long. Hope all is well in Euro.
You'll have to tell us of some of your adventures.

HEY SHELL!!

Wow, its good to hear that you're having fun and following your (dreams?) you nose!!

Yeah, Im with luke.....  you should post up some of your interesting stories!!  you're usually getting up to funny things!!

I remember the rainbow shoelace story (well I dont remember it..just remember you telling me about it!!)

Something to do with teaching or something!!

Anyway, great to hear from you!!  

Well alrighty then.. I don't know where to start with my adventures because there are soooo many funny stories to tell, in so many different places, as well as some real scary stories.

But one things for sure, you'll always find crazy goings on in countries where the population generally have very little..like spain, portugal, and egypt..

Had some very amusing goings on in Amsterdam, but that goes with out saying.
Was hanging out with a Canadian girl, we found ourselves a cute little coffee shop called 'hill street blues' where they made the best 'shakes'. :j:.. one night Cheryl (i've given her the aussie name of chezza) thought she'd try out some 'cake' a couple hours later she was grinning from ear to ear.
Not long before we were heading back to the hostel she felt like a shake. I said to her that maybe she should share one.. as the night before i had been caught out with it, making an absolute loon of myself infront of my room mates, they had sat there watching me as I was in histerics, and getting paranoid about the sound of my own voice.  ;DI had literally laughed my self to sleep that night...
Any way back to chezza. she had this shake and off we went off home.. the next day we had to move hostels, but chezza couldn't get out of bed... she couldn't even talk! she was in a cold sweat, she was going cross eyed, and she was green as grass.!
Now they say if your like this you should eat sugar, so I gave her some chocolate and went downstairs to explain that there was absolutely no way I was going to be able to get this girl out of the hostel today.
they were cool... went back to the room, chezza was out of it still in a cold sweat. the chocolate which she had only one small bite of, was melting running down her arms all over herself, and she just kept shaking her head at me.
so i put her to bed, and the next day we went out shrooming  :o in a national park an 1 1/2 from amsterdam. we were to scared to wander off in fear that we would get lost. but i tell ya what.. there are some bloody big bumble bees in the netherlands!

Tell more later... Spain has some crazy times

oh yea
im the new kid on the block but a little too hairy for that pretty boy slick teased up white t shirt faberge tight pants look.
not that theres anything wrong with that

as for this inside story im

1 a music junkie for techno minimal techy stuff rock techno and anything really that grabs my fancy.

2 a tattoo junkie who operates his own studio at 18 hall street newport.Yes under the westgate bridge next to newport station.

3 i spend my days juggling tattoos, drawings, playing decks and haging out on my hybrid mountain bike being an adrenalin junkie or skatin some nasty concrete park

ps. your artist profile should be up soon.

Hey Acca, lets go for a ride and throw ourselves off some stuff.

There are a few reasonable trails and jumps around the place.

Thanks for the intro mate

... so..

Who's going to be next? :cs:

Don't be shy.

i like cheese, last night i had a dream, i am pretty shure there was cheese in it somewhere, i think :w:

I gave it a good two days - and if no-one else will bite...

I'm Gemima (if you need an AKA you're an idiot) - sorry, that's not the spirit is it? AKA Gemma (aha, you say... the pink champagne drinking trash-bag? yes the one and only).

I'm here as gemima3 because I?m bloody shocking at remembering passwords. I had previously been anonymously ?hovering? over the messy boards (a la some other claw-footed, feathered office staff with nothing better to do) but was unable to add my opinion to the mix. For those that don?t know me that?s like strapping me to a chair in a room-full of the various knuckle-headed boys that make up most of messy, waiting until I?m embroiled in one of the inevitable drunken debates and then gaffer-taping my mouth closed ? so here is gemima3 making good use of her right of reply.

Other than penning the grossly unimaginative messy manifesto a few years ago I have contributed little to Messy (musically) unless you count a lot of booty shakin, arse grabbin and general shenanigans on the dancefloor (but that?s standard fare really). Actually that?s a lie ? on the balcony at Messy Xmas 2002 (?) when the last track of the night (Walk This Way) was jumping I reached over the decks and righted the record. It may sound like the act of the ultimate deck pest but the DJ was at the back of the dance-floor boogying along with the crowd who were loving the track so it was in the interest of messy that I broke with protocol.

For those of you who picked that I spelt gaffer tape correctly (it should actually be gaffer?s tape), I did spend University studying film theory and production. But I didn?t get nearly as far as Shell in our chosen career path, she chose to gently veer into TV while I ditched  my dignity completely and took the first off-ramp I could see marked $$$. So here I am in Advertising and guess what ? there ain?t a hell of a lot of $$$ after all. Life?s funny like that hey? Absolutely fucking hilarious.

I do have access to a lot of useless info about TV ratings helpfully provided via e-mails from colleagues cleverly entitled ?LAX is laxlustre!? and ?Starstruck or Starstuck?? Things aren?t so bad though I?d like to quote our company?s alcohol policy (Item 3/Page 1/General Information) ?Staff drinks are available for free after 5.30pm every night. Family should feel welcome to have a drink provided they are escorted through the company and not allowed to roam at will.? Maybe it?s my work-mates drunken families that are coming up with the clever way?s to title excel sheets full of ratings info. And before you ask Dog ? No, you cannot pretend to be my father/uncle/cousin/son.

So that?s me! I?m working damn hard at becoming an alcoholic, washed-up, advert/media whore who trades company secrets for coke and pretty boys who ?like to party?. Judging by the amount of work I?m getting done looks like I?ve made a great start ? would you believe it?s only my second day!?

Why is it so hard to get into advertising when 99% of all advertising is completely unimaginitive brainwashing bullshit, showing slim 35 year old housewives who love nothing more than cleaning benches with disposable antibiotic wipes then picking up the three cute smiling kids with expensive shoes from school in a fifty thousand dollar SUV (with bullbar), then going home to produce the perfectly cooked 10 kilogram roast turkey in a stainless steel kitchen just in time for the man of family, with teeth whiter than bleached clouds, to glide in the front door after a nine hour day, displaying all the energy of a young buck in his prime looking totally refreshed and happy to see his golden family...

only to find out it's an ad for a fucking insurance company.

I hope you can make a buck whilst bringing them down from the inside Gem.

oh yeah, and to hell with punctuation.

Did you get the apartment Gem?

Dunno yet Kattuz - should hear today...

Unfortuneatly Dame unimaginative brain-washing bullshit is generally what the client wants...

And the client is always right! (unless you have it in writing from them stating otherwise)

Gem i think we need a manifesto 2005 remix

well gem if i cant be any of them cam i be your brother/husband/grandfather. i have old man clothes, i play golf and lawn bowls, sort of.
