Throw Me The Statue

Indie Pop Project

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 Sufjan Stevens and 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. The line-up that settled into place for the band alongside Reitherman was made up of Charlie Smith (bass, keys), Jarred Grimes (drums) and Aaron Goldman (keys, glockenspiel).
