Throw Me The Statue Beam On First National Tour

Easily one of my favorite albums from the first quarter of 2008 would be Moonbeams, the debut album from Seattle based band Throw Me The Statue. In celebration of their Secretly Canadian effort, the band kicked off their first headlining tour in the US this weekend, and they will be playing with a handful of different bands over the course of their month long jaunt. Make sure to check them out when they come to your neck of the woods.
