Western Australia’s original and oldest street magazine is going monthly after almost 30 years.

X-Press Magazine managing editor Bob Gordon said it “was a ballsy move to go monthly” after being a weekly since its inception in 1985.

“After 29 years of wondrous weekly print publishing, we here at X-Press are proud and excited to announce the beginning of a new era,” he said. “The beginning of a great adventure, if you will, and we'd love for you to come along with us.”

Mr Gordon said some punters might be miffed not getting their weekly dose of arts and culture.
