(Im starting an Artist of the Week, starting RIGHT NOW)

The 22 year old from country town Shepparton, Australia, who has been playing for less than a year is now one of the most exciting electric act to come out of Australia, alongside Midnight Juggernauts. His name is Muscles, the one man band brainchild of Chris Copolus. The werid and smarty crafted electro-tinged pop has found a home at Modular and has gained popularity touring Australia with Parklife.

"I didn’t feel like I really fit into any one scene and thats kind of gave me the opportunity to fit everyone’s scene. In my head some of my stuff sounds reallu poppy and some of it sounds werid, but from the start I wanted to make something that sounded like no one else in the world and I feel like I’ve done that" He recently told Attitude Magazine. 

The recent release of his debut album GUNS, BABES, LEMONADE, reached #3 on the Australian Artist Chart and #1 on the Dance Album Chart in its first week.

 Ty is a ‘painter drawer and scribbler’ who has had his works published in Eastern Surf Magazine, N-East Magazine, Flagler College Magazine, and the St. Augustine Record. They have also been featured in a number of small artshows in New England and Florida. His works are colourful, unqiue and have even been printed with some small clothing companies, notably one of my favourites Paper Root.
