Selling out any club is impressive, and hitting the breaking point at one of the city's most popular venues is no small feat. So when the mainstage of the Black Cat hit capacity on Saturday night, nobody was more surprised than the three young men who make up Jukebox the Ghost (***). Upon taking the stage, drummer Jesse Kirstin turned as white as a sheet and singer/keyboardist Ben Thornewill asked (only half-jokingly), "Who are you people?"

We don't usually associate piano pop with Armageddon, but Three Stars alums Jukebox the Ghost have made the end of the world sound particularly catchy with their debut full-length album, Let Live and Let Ghosts. Recorded last January at Low Watt Studios in Raleigh, N.C., the album consists of the five songs off their debut EP released last year as well as several new tracks that form what vocalist and guitarist Tommy Siegel describes as multi-song sequences, some of which relate to the end of the world. It's pretty ambitious for a debut, but the band pulls it off.
