Artist: Jukebox the Ghost

SPEAK , if they sound familiar, it's likely due to their remix of Jukebox The Ghost's "Half Crazy" .  But now, they've proven themselves beyond the remix universe with a wonderful new track, "Peaks". It's a few days old, but that doesn't make it any less great. Check it out. I'm not sure who to liken them to, but it doesn't matter. Just listen.

Since 2003, guitarist/vocalist Tommy Siegel has been one-third of the perpetually-optimistic Jukebox the Ghost , churning out whimsical power-pop songs that range from the sweet and bubbly to the life-affirming. But in 2009, he shifted gears momentarily and formed the  "politically-themed" punk band  Drunken Sufis . The outfit released a few records, including the sophomoric  Americans Fuck , but have mostly kept their business under the radar. Recently, though, Siegel, who goes by T, and the other "arms of the beast" (Ras Yahya, Dr. D, Renzo, Moloch, and Buddy) returned to the fold to record a new album, [...]

I must be getting old. It seemed everyone in the crowd at this show was about 15 years old. They weren't checking ID's, so maybe? Matt Pond PA was the opening band to Jukebox The Ghost, which also made me feel old, because dude's been around forever! Matt Pond PA I came in to the last two songs of his set. His voice is crystal clear, and pitch perfect. Matt Pond PA has been around since 1998, and has cranked out 8 LPs and 8 EPs, it was a little bit confusing to see him opening [...]

• Jukebox the Ghost - "Somebody"

Photos by Chris Sikich | countfeed.tumblr.com In their biggest headlining show to date, Jukebox the Ghost played Union Transfer last Friday night. Fellow formal local Matt Pond played an opening set with his new band, and Delaware buzz-makers The Spring Standards opened the show. Check out scenes from the evening in the photo gallery above.

Beneath Jukebox The Ghost’s poppy veneer are serious influences. It’s hard to pick up on the group’s interest in Nabakov, for instance, while watching their infectious long shot video for “Somebody.” Yet, the group touts President Taft’s wikipedia biography on their facebook page. A witty, slightly offbeat sense of humor characterizes the group’s music aesthetic, ... Continue reading �

Jukebox the Ghost performed a show at the Echoplex on February 28 alongside indie-rock veteran Matt Pond and indie folk-pop quartet The Lighthouse & The Whaler. The night started out with The Lighthouse & The Whaler, an indie-folk-pop band similar ... Continued

Three surprises awaited us on Saturday night at the Rickshaw for Noise Pop 2013. First, there was a line wrapped around the block by the time doors were slated to open. Second, the show started promptly ten minutes after doors opened (a rare thing for any concert). And third, the originally-scheduled opening band was not actually who they were supposed to be. Confusing? Yes. French Cassettes were originally slated as the opening band for the evening. However, only three guys came on stage instead of four, and they introduced themselves as another band [...]

February goes out like a lion on this Thursday: ► Australian electronic dance-rockers Gold Fields [pictured] — impressive last fall when they visited for Culture Collide and with their new album "Black Sun" out this week — headline the Troubadour, supported by A Silent Film and Royal Teeth. ► The albums of Matt Pond — who's now lost the "PA" appellation that accompanied his name for eight albums and about as many EPs  — occupy a large slice of real estate on the Buzz Bands LA shelves. The pop [...]

You'd be hard pressed to find a band that's as endearingly goofy and earnest onstage as Brooklyn-via-Philly trio Jukebox The Ghost. The group's live show is a mix of their own expertly-crafted, indie pop tunes and interludes where you might hear everything from the Fine Young Cannibals "She Drives Me Crazy" to the ubiquitous "Twist [...]

Here we go again.  It's another weekend in Nashville, and your hard working asses need to get moving to celebrate.  If you are a regular follower of this rag, you'd find it hard to think we would even know that anything other than East Nashville Underground is going on over at The East Room  this weekend, but we do live in Music City where there is always more music than possible to believe happening.  We hope you all have a safe and happy post-valentine's day weekend, and that you all get out to see some live [...]

Matt Pond’s eponymous project doesn't feel 15 years old. With upbeat harmonies and jangly choruses, his new album could be filed next to Les Savy Fav as easily as it could be next to The Lumineers.  It is Pond’s tenth full-length and follows the release of his ninth EP, The Natural Lines, which came out earlier this ...

With the release of The Lives Inside The Lines In Your Hand still a month and change away, Matt Pond today released The Natural Lines, a free EP via the folks at Noisetrade. In plaintive, stripped-down recordings - mostly just clean electric guitar and Pond's voice - we get a taste of some of the ... Continue reading �
