Throw me the Status China Tour in Shanghai and Beijing
Event Photos (Click to Enlarge)
Seattle indie-poppers Throw Me the Statue have won accolades from NPR and those arbiters of indie taste Pitchfork. Those accolades tend to refer to TMTS’ songs as “playful,” “bouncy,” “killer indie-pop.”
TMTS’ upbeat, guitar-driven pop has propelled them to a record deal with Secretly Canadian, a gig opening for label mate Jens Lekman, and another opening for Cake. They also managed to find time for some highly awesome recording sessions with Daytrotter and with La Blogotheque.

Throw Me the Statue 永远都是用真诚的心去做毫不矫揉造作的lo-fi之音。乐队主创Scott Reitherman成立的独立DIY厂牌Baskerville Hill，经常发行一些手工制作的单曲，或是为朋友办些演出。2007年，TMTS在Baskerville Hill下发行了第一张专辑Moonbeams，却出乎意料的被签有Antony and the Johnsons 和jj等乐队的Secretly Canadian厂牌发现，并于2008年2月重新发行了首张专辑。随后，乐队在北美和欧洲展开了巡演，一年内在8个国家进行了100场演出。第二张专辑Creaturesque由Phil Ek协助制作，要知道，The Shins, Built to Spill, Band of Horses可都是由他操刀。新专辑发行之后迅速登上了西雅图KEXP广播电台第一名，甚至超过Sonic Youth。他们从没有追求过什么，但却用真诚的音乐打动了所有人。
