Happy-go-lucky road warriors Jukebox the Ghost will be returning to Philly this Saturday night at Union Transfer. The trio spent most of October touring Europe with James Blunt (who we wonder if “You’re Beautiful” is still getting him laid by models these days) in support of their album Everything Under the Sun touching down on the mainland. Jukebox the Ghost also recently released a new stop-motion video for the track “Half Crazy” (which you can check out below) from their LP. They’re currently doing a string of shows with The Spinto Band. They’ve also invited White Birds, former touring pals and Yep Roc lablemates (when they were in Drink Up Buttercup), to join them for their debut at UT. Expect plenty of old friends and good vibes this evening. Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St., 8pm, $12 – $14, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
