Muscles Love Struck DJ Tour Summer 2010
Muscles is just about to head out on the wide open road of Australia to embark on his Love Struck DJ Tour Summer 2010 - which has been described by the maestro as "a once-off national exuberant must-see defining event acting as a precursor to new songs, a new album, a love so electrifying and so absolute."
We Love The Reels
"You can't overestimate the importance of this band." - Tom Ellard (Severed Heads)
The Reels incited a revolution from the background. Their electronic pioneering and Oz Rock reactionism was actualised as a subtle surge of musical creativity. They produced music for music's sake, deeply beautiful and melodic with small hints of experimentation. It was, however, their accessibility and understated insurgence that allowed them to shift the focus of Australian music from the stadium to the synthesiser.
