The Living Statues

The Living Statues inhaled the sounds of '64 off an LP of A Hard Day's Night and coughed up Jack White's blood onto Cream City brick. Evolving the pop sensibilities of the British Invasion with explosive garage rock textures, "TLS" was established in 2012 in the heart of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shears, guitarist Zak Rickun, bassist Alex Thornburg, and drummer Chris Morales, on stage they've been compared to "a shot of adrenaline" and described as "edgy, dangerous and unpredictable," yet in their own words they're just "a rock-n-roll band from the Great Midwest."

Their debut single, Our American Cousin, was released in June 2013, followed up in April 2014 with their official debut - the Knockin' EP - recorded at Converse Rubber Tracks in Brooklyn, NY. Knockin' drew nominations for 2014 Radio Milwaukee Music Awards Song of the Year and Independent Release of the Year. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel tagged the band as 1 of "6 Wisconsin Bands to Watch for in 2015." In 2015, the band released three well-received singles and was named Band of the Year at the 2015 Radio Milwaukee Music Awards. 88Nine Radio Milwaukee PD Jordan Lee named their latest single release ("Valicity") #1 on his list of "Top 5 Milwaukee Songs of 2015."

Live, TLS has played back-to-back Summerfests as part of the Emerging Artists Series (2014) and direct support for OK Go (2015), the legendary School Night in Los Angeles, and toured their show with Mountain Dew. They've shared stages as direct support for other major artists Banks, Best Coast, Hanni El Khatib, Mayer Hawthorne, OK Go, The Vaccines, Tokyo Police Club, and Walk The Moon. They've been featured by Entertainment Weekly, Filter Magazine, and RedBull.com, amongst others, as the list continues to grow and their popularity continues to KNOCK.
