   About THROW ME THE STATUE
Our Music Video for "LOLITA." Directed by Matt Daniels at ThinkLab.

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.” ..right>- 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." ..right>- Stereogum

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

"Offering a breed of ludicrously melodic synth-driven pop." ..right>- 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..” ..right>- NPR

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

"Throw Me the Statue’s live show is wildly energetic...an abandon grounded by serious musicianship." ..right>- 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." ..right>- 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." ..right>- I Guess I'm Floating

Nice video. Can't say that I've ever seen exploding pies used in a metaphorical sense.
How did you get Denise Richards to do it though?

Your CD and a glass of vino are a great combo.
Keep up the good work

The new video is great. I approve and so would Stanley Kubrick, director of Lolita...if he was still alive.

I also blogged about you on my new, fledgling shitty blog. Unfortunately not many people read it, but I'm trying to change it.
