The band includes Ben Thornewill on piano & vocals, Tommy Siegel on guitar & Vocals and Jesse Kristin on drums & vocals. This music writer sums up Jukebox The Ghost perfectly: "When you are listening to
This is a fabulous Friday for shows. In Baltimore The Courtesy Line, Matt Pond Pa, and Pete Francis of Dispatch has been CANCELED at the Ottobar (though Pete Francis is still playing). Since you're not going to be able to make that show, why not head to Sonar to catch Bear Hands and Live. In DC the Black Cat has the Oranges Band, Polvo, and Sir Arthur & His Royal Knights while The cure destroys the Patriot Center. In Philly The Khyber has a must see show with Jukebox The Ghost, The XYZ Affair, Grammar Debate, [...]
Monday: Friction w/Fuck Buttons + Pattern Is Movement @ Mercury Lounge 8pm $10 Happy Cinco De Mayo New York music lovers! Here on Staten Island we have a tradition of heading to a fenced in parking lot outside of the local Chevy's and drinking Carona's till we puke. Now I don't normally participate in this tradition so in looking for something else to do I think I found a pretty solid alternative
Another weekend is here bringing in a wave of great shows. Abby Mott plays her second day of shows at the Nerve Center in Baltimore with The Bright Lights, A Cat Called Cricket and In Every Room. In DC the Black Cat has Jukenox the Ghost, Travis Morrison Hellfighters, and the XYZ Affair while the Rock and Roll Hotel has South, Silver State, and KI: Theory. Finally in Philly, Johnny Brenda's has the Kills and Telepathe while the M Room has The Major Leagues. mp3: Jukebox The Ghost - Good Day mp3: [...]
Din cauza ca am strans o gramada de mp3-uri in folderul ce trebuie sa contina playlistul din aprilie mi-a luat ceva timp pana am reusit sa pun cap la cap melodiile si sa le selectez doar pe acelea pe care tin neaparat sa le auziti. Am sters o groaza dintre ele iar la numaratoarea finala am ramas cu 37 de piese, din care doar 20 au mers mai departe in playlist. Restul fie le-am pastrat pentru mine fie am zis ca autorii melodiilor respective merita cate un post separat. It ain't easy you know? Exista vreo 3 melodii de care [...]
INDIE ROCK NEW RELEASE: DATELINE: WASHINGTON D.C. MEET JUKEBOX THE GHOST Ben, Tommy and Jesse It's kind of like the indie rock version of cabaret and high energy indie pop all wrapped up in one. The songs from Live and Let Ghosts - the brand new release from Jukebox the Ghost, are an experiment, exciting and intellectual affair . Probably the most impressive thing the band has done [...]
My favorite of the Andrew Maury remixes is the one of Jukebox the Ghost's Good Day. However, I'll admit that when I first heard it on the site, I'd never heard the original so I wasn't sure whether I was responding to the remix itself or whether the strength of the song lied in the original. So I went looking for more about Jukebox the Ghost and I'm glad I did. Jukebox the Ghost is a trio from Washington D.C. playing a brand of piano power pop that's gotten them compared to [...]
This week, the Radio Exile mp3 Mixtape came in two parts: Side A was Tuesday [ link ] and Side B is today. Hurray for great music with a sprinkling of a little of something for everyone. Sure, some people complain that all indie music sounds the same, but those people probably live in Connecticut. How are those gas prices treating you, Connecticut indie hate monger? (I went to college in the Nutmeg State, so I can rib a bit, eh?) Either way, here's some more great stuff [...]
Lots of great albums to sink your teeth into this week, as you've got solid releases from the likes of El Perro del Mar, Elbow, Jukebox The Ghost, The Jealous Girlfriends, and Tokyo Police Club. I'm sure i'm missing a few others, but i'm in a bit of a hurry to get this post up. If there's anything else you would like to recommend, please feel free to do so. Hopefully, next week i'll have a bit more substantial to say, instead of just a few sentences. I'm also noticing the lack of posts between [...]

The new opus from Washington, D.C.'s Jukebox The Ghost hit store shelves today. The effort is titled Let Live and Let Ghosts and will be released via The Rebel Group/This Side Up. Both critics and fans have been raving about the quirkiness of the band's lyrics, their creative songwriting, and the energetic shows they perform. The band has toured extensively since 2006, performing with Ben Kweller, Regina Spektor, Kanye West, Le Loup, Ra Ra Riot, Tokyo Police Club, and Travis Morrison (Dismemberment Plan). [...]
I announce that loosely, since I don't know any record stores where I'm at that have new music 1 . If you see Let Live and Let Ghosts , buy it . That's an order. With gas prices the way they are, I apologize for demanding you buy MC Paul B's latest song and this album, but both are worth it. Take a listen to the last track on the Jukebox the Ghost album. Jukebox the Ghost - Matter of Time I [...]
The first four releases by The Replacements are being reissued this week (remastered with bonus tracks). Today through Friday, Kevin Cole will be featuring each of these albums with a giveaway on the Afternoon Show . Each day will focus on a different release, so tune in!

The day is finally here when I can share my love for the new Tokyo Police Club album Elephant Shell and everyone will be able to understand what I am talking about. I got a preview copy of the album awhile ago and I haven't been able to put it down for more than a day at a time. Quick and quirky pop would be a good description of the sound these fellows from Toronto put out and I highly recommend it. Also out this week is the national release of our very own Jukebox the [...]
Bands these have gotten a bit long winded. Albums are stretching on longer and longer, there are full tomes of remixes and bonus cuts, and pretty much everyone out there will take up as much space as possible to get their name out there further. Luckily there is Tokyo Police Club who have should never be labeled long winded in anything ever. On their debut EP the band introduced themselves to the
JTG's fabulous debut LP, Let Live & Let Ghosts , is out tomorrow. To celebrate, we're giving away a copy of the album PLUS... Two tickets to catch the trio on 5/10 @ Mercury Lounge. E-mail us for a chance to snag the prize pack! Winner will be selected at random this Tuesday (5pm). Visit Jukebox The Ghost on MySpace. MP3: Jukebox The Ghost - Victoria [ alt link ]
Para quem gosta de Ben Kweller, Regina Spektor, Kanye West, Le Loup, Ra Ra Riot, Tokyo Police Club e Travis Morrison, entre outros. "DC’s Jukebox the Ghost are an extremely entertaining piano-pop trio that writes cleverly optimistic songs. Their music gives off an aura that vaguely resembles happiness. Imagine! Upon first listen to these guys you will probably think two things (depending on how in touch with the ’90s you are); "Ben" and "Folds." It’s true that singer/piano player Ben Thornewill shares strong vocal similarities to that other Ben’s tenor. And, of course, it doesn’t quell [...]
It must be spring. There are actually shows on Wednesdays. Here are a few to attend: Regional favorites Jukebox the Ghost are growing quite a following in their new home base. Check them out at the North Star on Wednesday. Tally Hall and The Republic Tigers are on tour as well and joining Jukebox on stage. Afterwards, JTG heads north to Beantown, while all of you in DC get the other two at DC9 on Thursday. 4/16: Philly @ North Star 4/17: DC @ DC9 (Tally Hall/The Republic Tigers only) [...]
Monday: Jukebox the Ghost @ Southpaw 7:30pm $12 Even though they aren't officially residents of New York I think a case can be made that we are officially stealing Jukebox the Ghost from D.C.. The band plays here seemingly all the time and gets huge crowds to show up for them. Of course they're not actually headlining this show, some other band that Rachael love is, but they are the big draw in
In an article in the recent edition of Soundvenue , Djuna Barnes states that MP3 blogs are dying (out of boredom). At least to her they are. Does this mean that my blog is so last year before it even became a wee bit hip? Blast!! I don’t own an iPod and I still by CD’s. Perhaps the right Latin term for prehistoric monsters like me, who failed to understand that we entered a new millennium years ago, is CDsaurus Rex ? I’ve often [...]
