Jukebox the Ghost

This likable Washington, D.C.-based trio plays piano indie rock à la Ben Folds. Named for the lyrics from a Captain Beefheart song, the three longtime friends—they met while students at George Washington University—have pop tendencies, but also a flair for the grandiose. Hear their bouncy beats and soaring choruses as they play the El Rey behind the band's recently released eponymous fourth LP.
