Seattle-based buzz group Throw Me the Statue covers Huey Lewis' "If This is It" with their indie-pop dancy vibe. You can download it free from Stereogum.

The track is for the Are you still with me?! A Tribute to Huey Lewis and the News compilation, planned for release sometime in 2008. Other contributors include My Brightest Diamond, Panda & Angel, The Long Winters (another local!), Menomena, and Apostle of Hustle.

Bah! Enough about the tribute: take yourself to MySpace if you want to know more.

I'd much rather wrap this up stating how boy-next-door charming these TMTS guys are and how fab they sounded last night at the Exile in {Imaginary} Girlville show. Nice!
