Our Music Video for "YUCATAN GOLD" directed by Iqbal Ahmed.

Throw Me The Statue is a band. Keyboards, guitars, drums -- that kind of stuff.


"This standout track ("Lolita") has the straightahead bedroom vocals of Guided by Voices, the lilting pop instincts of fellow Seattleites the Long Winters, and chutes-and-ladders melodies recalling the Shins. All are in service of a breezy July-afternoon song full of ramshackle bells, electronic beats, and simple, chugging guitars.” - Pitchfork Media

"TMTS throws a perfect storm of clatter into his homey pop...The absolutely addictive "Lolita" hits like Bob Pollard's beloved Kinks asking us to, please, come dancing." - Stereogum

"This guy is from Seattle, and, good lord, he is good!" - USA TODAY Pop Candy

"Offering a breed of ludicrously melodic synth-driven pop." - The Guardian

"Moonbeams, the debut album from the group, is a collection of catchy, upbeat indie pop with enough experimental twists and turns to keep it interesting..” - NPR

"88%. A captivating set of songs that begs for repeated listens.” - Filter Magazine

"Throw Me the Statue’s live show is wildly energetic...an abandon grounded by serious musicianship." - The Stranger Weekly Blog

"Scott Reitherman's bedroom pop - catchy melodies, uke and synth, part Guided By Voices & part Magnetic Fields, - wields a wistfulness that's sometimes breathtaking." - Said The Gramophone

"Nods to everything from Of Montreal to the Beach Boys make his a tough sound to corral, and that’s the beauty of it." ..right>- Seattle Weekly

"One of the catchiest and most enjoyable indie records of the summer." - I Guess I'm Floating

Hey Scott-

You guys have a new EP coming out? Congrats, and where might I acquire it?

I trust the European tour was both exhausting and awesome in equal measures-

hey scott,

i was pleased to see that the hostel in rotterdam i am currently staying in was playing your music upon my arrival. the dutch girl behind the counter said she saw you last week and was very impressed.

guess i came here a bit late, but it is great to see that you are pulling through well with the new label and the touring.

I just had the pleasure of buying your new album, and I must say, it is glorious
I truly enjoyed it
Well worth the money. And if anything, it was underpriced.

AWESOME! I'm not quite sure if you know how excited that made me.

Definitely will be there.
Should I still just go ahead and buy the 21+ ticket off of the Neumo's site?

i love you guys's music so much!!
Lori





Oct 29 2008 11:13 PM

So, I was super excited about the Neumo's show, I requested the day off from work and everything! Today when I went to buy my ticket, I realized it was 21+. I'm close to 21, but will still only be 20 on December 4th.

I think there's a conspiracy against me seeing you all live.
