Every 'Track Of The Day' we post is special to us, but today it's even more special. Why? Well those awesome dudes in Freelance Whales have remixed the stunning 'Empire' by Jukebox the Ghost , that's why. For those not familiar with Jukebox the Ghost (seriously? who are you?) - the band release their first single 'Schizophrenia' on October 24th, with their new album Everything Under The Sun following on November 7th. The record was produced by the legendary Peter Katis (Interpol, The National). So yeah, great [...]
Every time I hear Jukebox The Ghost's Everything Under The Sun, I wonder how I let it escape our Top 20 Albums of 2010. But I will take solace in the fact that I've seen the band kill it live, bought both their debut and sophomore albums after hearing just a couple of tracks, and [...]

"Pop sensibility" is a bit of a misnomer in the current music state. Most pop groups have no "sensibility" to speak of. The same sounding tracks are written by paid songwriters and regurgitated out via the new pop darling all while never veering away from what exactly the fan base expects. Jukebox The Ghost displays what I would say is the pure definition of the term. And with the release of their sophomore album this fact is even more apparent. "Schizophrenia" is exactly that, with the bouncing sing along lyrics and driving piano and "Half Crazy" with its [...]
Jukebox the Ghost : 'The Stars' free d/l + UK Debut! Jukebox the Ghost is a innovative piano driven pop band, born in Washington, now living in Philadelphia. They have toured extensively since 2006 (including a tour with Ben Folds in 2009). ..and now they're taking the UK by storm by releasing their second album [...]
Just in case you missed Jukebox The Ghost earlier this summer at the XPoNential Festival (or, before that, in May at the Church), you'll have yet another chance to see the band this winter. The piano-driven poppers have just announced that they will play Union Transfer December 3rd with White Birds and The Spinto Band, according to The Swollen Fox . This is in addition to a September date during the Philly F/M Festival at the Ukie Club. Tickets become available at noon this Friday; you can buy them here .
This isn't super music related, except for the fact that I'll post three ghost-related tracks at the bottom of this intriguing nugget of visual creepiness. While in NYC, the girlfriend and I hopped on the subway over to Chelsea to check out the High Line on the west side. It's a gorgeous park, really, with plant-lined walkways above the street (on an old abandoned, elevated train track in the meat packing district). We absolutely loved the leisurely stroll we took that day. I snapped lots of photographs on the old iPhone that afternoon. I also [...]
Photo by Joe Del Tufo Jukebox The Ghost took the XPoNential Festival’s Marina stage Sunday amid a cloud of heavy heat. The late-afternoon set had the muggy weather and an equally sluggish audience to contend with, but Jukebox’s brand of sunny piano pop prevailed, proving irresistible to even the most lethargic listeners. By the end of the show, a contingent of previously sedate spectators had taken up at the foot of the stage, dancing with whole-hearted enthusiasm. As the members of Jukebox launched into their first song (“Good Day” from 2008’s [...]
The last local artist for this XPoNential was Jukebox The Ghost , a bouncy indie-pop trio whose infectious tunes have been on XPN’s rotation for some time. As David Dye put it while welcoming the band on the Marina, they gave the World Cafe one of our favorite sessions ever . Today they played from their 2010 release, letting their piano-filled quirkiness filter out across the festival grounds. —Bekah Larsen You can listen to the audio of the full performance here ; videos will be available soon. You can also listen to Mike Vasilikos' interview with [...]
Jukebox The Ghost plays piano-driven pop, but don't label them the next Ben Folds. Jukebox's approach to the genre is more offbeat and less packaged; they favor whimsical, fictional lyrics and jangly keyboards. Though they've been around since 2003, Jukebox has recently been building buzz with their sprawling, buoyant tunes—having appeared on Late Show With David Letterman and played at Lollapalooza last year. Prior to the band's appearance at XPoNonential Festival this Sunday, The Key sat down with lead singer and pianist Ben Thornewill to discuss his music major, Philly's concert scene, and why he [...]
First it was New York , and now Philadelphia is stepping up as the potential hub of the East Coast festival scene. Popped! is back, and Riot Fest East has already announced they’re setting up shop for a day. As it turns out, that day is part of the Philadelphia Film & Music Festival (a.k.a. Philly F/M Fest), and now the rest of the initial lineup has been revealed. Promising “at least fifteen ‘headline-level’ artists of all music genres,” the immediate standouts are Deadmau5, Opeth, Jukebox the Ghost, Silverstein, The [...]
--Hey hipsters this isn't 2008 there's nothing "Ironic" about your mustache anymore. This includes pulling your hair over your lip/drawing a mustache on your finger it's been done... the novelties worn off-- . . . After finishing up with the night cruise posts i'm in the mood for some songs where the instrumentation carries the songs a little more than the lyrics. I'm sure as i piece this one together i'll stray a little from that format but that's basically [...]
As I mentioned before, the internet is challenged when cruising and traveling international. Victoria is beautiful. After docking we did the tourist thing and bussed to the Butterfly Gardens and the Butchart Gardens. About four hours of my life I do not wish back. Truly breathtaking and highly recommended if you visit the area. Let's just say, my dogs are barking after walking the rest of the town weaving in and out of shops and restaurants. I'm back on board now getting ready for Vancouver tomorrow. Have to keep this short as the [...]

This summer jam-pop trio Dispatch will head out on their first extended tour together since 2002, which kicks off with a three-night run at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre from June 3 - 5. As we previously reported , the band announced that prior to hitting the road they would head into the studio to work on recording their first set of new material in over a decade. The band, who recently debuted their first new tune Melon Bend on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, will digitally release their Peter [...]
[Photo courtesy of The Wild Honey Pie ] Things seem to be going well for Philly’s Jukebox the Ghost - not long after they booked this show at the intimate Rock Shop as the support act for tourmates Wakey Wakey! , they found themselves at the top of the bill at Bowery Ballroom the following night. It isn’t terribly surprising: Since their founding in their present incarnation in 2005, the band has toured extensively behind big name, accessible pop-rock acts like Ben Folds and Barenaked Ladies and released two strong [...]
