D.C.’s punchy pop trio Jukebox the Ghost brings youthful optimism and thoughtful darker themes together on its new self-titled album. Guitarist Tommy Siegel and drummer Jesse Kristin lay down uptempo beats as frontman Ben Thornewill tickles the ivories and doles out contemplative, infectious lyrics on an album that’s filled with road loneliness and heartbreak tied up in a bright, quirky bow.
Saturday 11/15. $13-15, 8pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.
