> What is Gonzo (circus)?
Gonzo (circus) is an independent bimonthly magazine about experimental music and culture.

> Where is the main office of Gonzo (circus)?
Since time immorial, Gonzo (circus) has been connected with Leuven. We keep our meetings, our activities etc. there. Leuven is our 'base'. Thanks to the wonders of technique, we have decided to no longer rent a office, so everybody works at home. The money that has become available is invested in the magazine itself.

> So I can't call anyone at Gonzo (circus)?
If you have a question or complaint, you can mail to the e-mail address mentioned at the contact page. We'll always contact you, if necessary by phone. Although we aim for a professional customer service, it can always happen that our staff member (volunteer) is on holidays or has planned other activities. We would like to ask for a little patience.

> An address in Leuven and one in Amsterdam. Is Gonzo (circus) a Belgian or a Dutch magazine?
Gonzo (circus) originated in Flanders, but in the meanwhile we have expanded to the Netherlands: staff members, subscribers, outlets and advertisers are also from the Netherlands. Gonzo (circus) focuses on the Dutch-speaking regions. We just have two addresses, because it works easier.

> Is everybody at Gonzo (circus) volunteer?
Except for a part-time payed co-ordinator, everybody at Gonzo (circus) is a volunteer. That way, we can guard our independence, we aren't dependent of advertizers and we can do as we please. The intrinsic interest of our staff members in experimental music and culture is our only motivation.

> Why are there, though nice, also old stuff among the reviews in Gonzo (circus)?
First of all, Gonzo (circus) is a bimonthly magazine with a long production time. This long production time is needed to make a well-designed magazine with good articles. At the time of going to press we haven't always received the most recent releases. Secondly, it happens that an album doesn't get released in all European countries at the same time. That has an influence on the time when record companies put their cds at disposal in a certain area. Thirdly, Gonzo (circus) is averse to hypes: We sometimes like to take a distance to give a well-founded opinion or we sometimes dig up things that were left out at an earlier time. And finally, Gonzo (circus) also wants to function as a work of reference: our reviews are no chats accompanying a new record, but a well-founded opinion, that still is relevant after a couple of years.

> Do self-releases also get a chance to be reviewed?
Certainly, if it musically fits with Gonzo (circus) we'll try to do our stinking best to review your sitting room diligence and anti-kapitalistic DIY-writs.

> Why do I never read concert-or festivalreviews in Gonzo (circus)?
Gonzo (circus) is a bimonthly magazine. If we were to write concert reviews, they could be four months old before they appear, too late to be of any use. Besides, we rather talk about subjects like: "Is the traditional festival in Flanders as good as dead?", "What is happening to small concert halls in the Netherlands" etc. Pieces of concert reviews can be found in interviews and reviews.

> Why is there so little humour and spinal Tap in Gonzo (circus)?
You have to believe us if we tell you that our meetings are lots of fun. Unfortunately, experimental music and culture is often a serious matter, brought by very serious hard-working people. Besides, we think the process of and the idea behind music is more interesting than crazy tour bus adventures. Furthermore, we don't confuse accessibility with babytalk or brainless talks. Finally, we prefer subtle humour to tits-and-bums humour (except on editorial meetings and in the pub).

> I want to pay to put my track on Mind The Gap. Is that possible?
No, we think that's very unengaging. Gonzo (circus) selects the tracks itself and pays all the costs, connected to that.

> I want to place an advertisement, but then you will have to write an article about my event or product.
Bad luck. Gonzo (circus) is an independent magazine. Placing an ad doesn't automatically gives right to editorial attention. By placing an ad, you're supporting our task of providing independent Dutch speaking qualitative information about experimental music and culture. In the long term, it guarantees the unconditional sympathy of our readers.

> I've got something to put on the agenda. Do I send an e-mail or do you prefer a flyer?
To save trees, we prefer e-mails (although those silicone chips and electricity isn't what you can call durable) with clear information (max. 250kb). Keep in mind that Gonzo (circus) is a bimonthly magazine. So check our deadlines.

> I have sent a message for the agenda, an interview proposal or an album, but i don't receive a confirmation or feedback.
Unfortunately we don't have enough (wo)manpower to give feedback to everything. If we need more information or do something with your proposal, we'll definitely contact you.

> I want the Gonzo djs with their matchless breakcore and abstract electronics on my festival/concert. Is that possible?
Off course, your concert or festival has to fit with the musical spectrum of Gonzo (circus). Then, we'll check the availability of our people. For more info, you can always e-mail at info@gonzocircus.com
