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.”

guys. awesome video. saw you in philly at the khyber earlier this year (the 2000 people who went to see spoon that night missed the best show in town). good luck with your upcoming tour!
Thanks for the add. I love "Lolita" and just realized I'd been hearing it on that Rhapsody commercial all this time! You guys are a HUGE Indie Rock band! You're a paradox! Feel free to stop by my page and check out my tunes anytime.
