|Throw Me The Statue is this dude, he lives on Capitol Hill in Seattle with some wonderful friends. Together they make up a musical family, the collective/record label Baskerville Hill. And now made up of four additional members, TMTS is fit for lots of summer shows throughout the Northwest and beyond so keep it tuned here for news of those dates! Most of all, the debut record is now finally done! Entitled Moonbeams, this baby is a pop rainbow! A dynamic tour de force with songs coming from all angles and all styles. For the bedroom headphones to the speakers at the bbq party, this album goes up, down and around to convince you that this kid is here to do this thing right. From Wikipedia: Throw Me the Statue was formed by Scott Reitherman after he began self-releasing CDs of buzzy, lo-fi indie pop in 2004. Friends, including Pedro the Lion member Casey Foubert, pitched in to help as Reitherman added instruments including drum machines and glockenspiels to round out his sound. A full band came into shape in early 2007 as Throw me the Statue’s debut album Moonbeams was released on Reitherman’s Baskerville Hill label and later on Secretly Canadian. They have been featured on Pitchfork Media[1] and NPR [2] and have received airplay on the independent Seattle radio station KEXP. In 2008 Throw Me the Statue toured the US, played at SXSW and the Sasquatch Festival, and opened for Cake in Seattle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throw_Me_The_Statue |
