varsitytheater.com
Jukebox The Ghost and The Mowgli’s will be playing the
Varsity Theater on Monday, March 18th.
Recently, Jukebox the Ghost re-released their debut album Let Live & Let Ghosts as a special limited edition 10th Anniversary Edition on Yep Roc Records. You can probably pick up the 10th Anniversary LP at this upcoming show.
We last saw the Mowgli’s in Nov 2015 and said, “The seven-piece collective found their groove halfway through with ‘What’s Going On’ (not the Marvin Gaye number, but one that encouraged action as well) while ‘Love Me Anyway’ had the crowd singing along with the band’s four primary vocalists.”
Also on the bill will be opener Twin XL.

Icelandic singer Ásgeir is back in the city, this time playing the Cedar Cultural Center on Tuesday, March 19th.
We caught Asgeir in Sep 2017 and wrote, “He’s actually known as Ásgeir Trausti in Iceland, but for America, he thought his name was unique enough to be billed under just the first name… like Elvis or Prince. Ásgeir had already made a splash in Iceland with his debut album Dýrð í dauðaþögn, in 2012.”
