Throw Me The Statue Played a Short & Really Sweet Show at the Echo 9/15

k-ron Sep 16, 2009

Throw Me The Statue is led by the energetic, emotion-filled, conservatively dressed singer-songwriter, Scott Reitherman. Damn he is cute! For a band that has such an artfully playful sound, you wouldn't expect that these 4 band members are on stage in face paint and snorkeling gear, but in khakis and collared shirts these guys have got the music game down. Throw Me The Statue put on a top-notch show tonight at The Echo, such a good show that I wanted more and I am listening to their music right now.

Most of the show tonight was material off of Throw Me The Statue's recently released album Creaturesque, which had me all bouncy and smiley on the dance floor, since their new stuff was what I was eager for live. Some of my favorites were performed, including 'Ancestors', 'Hi-Fi Goon', 'Baby, You're Bored' and 'Pistols'. The audience whom probably hasn't had as much time with their new album as I have, went wild at The Echo when Throw Me The Statue performed, 'Yucatan Gold' - the hit song off of Moonbeams (the 2008 album).

The whole super high pitched vocals, with cheerfully radiant guitar rips and drum beats - really works for Throw Me the Statue. Creaturesque is a super friendly album, so tell your friends all about it! Poppy and catchy, with songs you would have found on the "Garden State" soundtrack had the timing worked out.

If I could hijack all the cars on PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) on a sunny 80 degree day and throw one CD in each car stereo, it would have to be Creaturesque. Each song on the album has a shimmery sound that might melt your heart or at the very least just make you feel all touchy-feely warm inside (aka really good).

'Snowshoes', 'Dizzy From the Fall' and 'Hi-Fi Goon' have been my go-to tracks for the last few months.

Lucky for you, Throw Me The Statue has just premiered their new music video on Stereogum for 'Hi-Fi Goon'.Please watch this video and then try and tell me you don't dig?!  The video was directed by Jason Argyropoulos at Tree Filmworks.
