Throw Me The Statue

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 and NPR and have received airplay on the independent Seattle radio station KEXP. Their name most likely comes from a line during a scene featuring Danny DeVito, Michael Douglas, and Kathleen Turner, in the 1984 film, Romancing the Stone.
