UPDATE – Read what Modular had to say on the matter, or for Muscles’ latest outburst head here!

Another day, another controversy… Fresh from his recent MySpace Music rant, electro pop posterboy Muscles has had another vent on his blog, voicing frustration at being dropped from the line-up for Modular’s upcoming 10th birthday celebration tour Nevereverland.

“My record label calls my mobile phone last week and says, ‘We’re downsizing and can’t afford to have ‘Muscles’ on our Nevereverland 2008 lineup anymore’,” the blog entry begins. “For everyone who bought tickets to come and see MUSCLES, call up Ticketmaster/Ticketek to receive a refund.”

He’s not without pity, however we’re not entirely sure if he’s being tongue in cheek… as it is quite likely Modular will take offense when they find themselves compared to a mutant house pet. “They apparently are not selling many tickets, I feel sorry for them. Like I feel sorry for a blind three-legged conjoined-twin kitten.”

“So if you’re not sick of seeing Cut Copy and The Presets play every festival the past 2 years, just go,” Muscles summarises, before sticking the knife in one last time… “It’s only $99!” We haven’t seen such bitter blog ramblings since Kanye’s legendary ‘squid brain’ tirade earlier this year!

I have always found it hard to understand why Modular would sign the gimp in the first place. Nevereverland just got better.

Not since Deadmau5 have I seen someone so undeserving of an ego get such... an ego. Muscles is much worse though. Really, to call him a musician is a stretch.

Well mate, if you did a bit more than stand on stage with your hands in your pockets and sing to a backing tape.... At least a blind three-legged conjoined-twin kitten has talent.

coxdigweed

coxdigweed said on the 2nd Dec, 2008

i agree with him about presets and cut copy , he is shit as well . Its about time we bring more and more minimal/tech artists out and then the kids will finally know what proper music is instead of the shit they listen to know ....P.S Muscles ur a cunt

Poor excuse of an artist playing at a poor excuse of a festival is loaded with fail.

His music was fun to listen to for the first 180 seconds. After that it all starts to sound like a tragic pub crawl. Glad to see the industry teaching upstarts to be move creative

Bad boy of the scene, love it. Wasn't going to Nevereverland, but this kid should be able to speak out after they've promoted him for weeks now. Not a good look Modular!

Muscles what makes you think that if people dont want to see the presets or cut copy that you would be their next choice. Australia has way bettter talent than you (like the guys on warp records) but they dont have a fluro following

hydee said on the 3rd Dec, 2008

you poor bastard muscles, how far did he expect to get with his material? he was a stage filler whilst the bands got setup! If modular can't afford to have their cheapest export play there is something seriously wrong on their books.

Did he really get cancelled or did he cancel himself? I saw him at stereosonic last week and the kid had properly lost the plot. Hope he is ok...

VOITY81 said on the 3rd Dec, 2008

Yep there is PLENTY of recycled acts out there: presets, cut copy, midnight juggernauts, MUSCLES (toolbag). WHEN THE FUCK ARE SOME NEW TUNES GOING TO BE HEARD. We spend cunt loads of money to go see these cunts and they might as well play their cds on shu

locho

locho said on the 3rd Dec, 2008

MUSCLES IS A LIAR, this proves it - direct from the modular website "Muscles is signed to Modular Recordings and his services are still required under that agreement. He was offered a spot at NEVEREVERLAND which still stands and whether he chooses to pla

Can't stand him, Modular should drop his arse... It's would be hard for Modular to top last year's nevereverland but with Muscles pulling out they have just gone one step closer...
