A Jaunty Apocalypse
The music of Jukebox the Ghost
I happened across Jukebox the Ghost opening for Barenaked Ladies at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City and the Pageant Theatre in St Louis recently.
The three-man, Philadelphia-based group's sound reminds me a bit of early Beatles in its jaunty, up-beat feel, but their lyrics are much smarter, often painting a textural picture of of an apocalyptic world. Here's their website; I recommend both their CDs.
Tommy Siegel - vocals and guitar
Jesse Kristin, drums and percussion, has also written for Consequences of Sound.
Ben Thornewill - vocals and keyboards
There is no bass player in Jukebox the Ghost, but you won't miss it. However, should they hold auditions for one, Ace may try out.
See a few more pictures, here.
