It is later to the album Trabajos Inútiles (Useless Works, 1997) by Fulano that Cristián Crisosto began an ambitious personal composition project, which in the year 2000 is concretized by putting together a new band, with his wife Arlette Jequier (voice), their daughter Regina Crisosto (voice), and seven other young musicians; Santiago Astaburuaga, (bass), Christian Hirth (drums), Daniel Linker (piano), Diego Aguirre (guitar), Sebastián Dintrans (guitar), Patricio Bracamonte (trombone), Marcelo Maira (flute and sax), taking up the previous name of MediaBanda.

At the end of 2004, the faculty of the Escuela Moderna de Música awarded MediaBanda the prize for best band of the year, and Wikén magazine of the newspaper El Mercurio qualifies the group as the best new Chilean artist.

In 2010 they released a new album called Siendo Perro (Being dog), with a new line-up which highlights the harmonic use of guitars as a replacement for the piano, and the incorporation of funk, and hard rock to the already avant-garde jazz-rock fusion.

In 2014 they participate in the celebration of the 30 years of the Fulano group, held at the Nescafé Theater of Arts together with Santiago del Nuevo Extremo, Pedro Foncea (from De Kiruza), and Angelo Pierattini (from Weichafe).

During this period the group made a series of performances re-opening a large part of the repertoire, which also had the collaboration of Consuelo Schuster and Celeste Shaw in voices and that coincided with an important rotation of musicians in the base formation.

[12][13][14] Since late 2018 they are presenting the show "Mediabanda Plays Fulano", premiered on November 16, 2018, at the Teatro Oriente with guests such as Pablo Ilabaca (from Chancho en Piedra), Nicolás Vera, Consuelo Schuster, and Como asesinar a Felipes, paying tribute to the music of the mythical Chilean fusion band Fulano, and in particular to the great maestro Jaime Vivanco, performed with new arrangements by Tomás Ravassa on keyboards, and Aurelio Silva on guitar, in a staging that wastes energy and attitude.

In January 2020 they release the first single from their upcoming new album entitled Maquinarias (Machinery) in tribute to Fulano, with the classic anti-authoritarian satire Adolfo, Benito, Augusto y Toribio [es], at the Museum of Memory and Human Rights and in the context of the Social Outbreak.

The album is dedicated to composer Jaime Vivanco who tragedly died in 2003, and contains ten new arrangements of his compositions in Fulano, which had the collaboration of the Ilabaca brothers (from Chancho en Piedra), the actor and folklorist Daniel Muñoz, and singer Consuelo Schuster, among others.

Many other acts of different origins and styles have been significant too such as Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Charly García, and most notably Crisosto's former band Fulano.
