Jukebox the Ghost is a D.C. Metro-Area three-piece power pop band. The band consists of Ben Thornewill (vocals & piano), Tommy Siegel (vocals & guitar) and Jesse Kristin (drums). The band has been active since 2006. In 2003, Ben, Tommy, and Jesse met while going to George Washington University.[2] As they were attending, they formed a band called "The Sunday Mail".[3] After two years, they took a hiatus. Afterwards, they wrote many songs. After they thought they had enough material, they built up a new image and band, and named it "Jukebox the Ghost". They derived the name from the lyrics of a Captain Beefheart song. In 2008, they released their first album "Let Live & Let Ghosts". Jukebox the Ghost recorded a cover of Ace of Base's "Beautiful Life" for Engine Room Recordings' compilation album Guilt by Association Vol. 2, which was released in November 2008.[
