Awesome Postmodern Jukebox

Welcome to the new age. During their 10th Anniversary tour, Postmodern Jukebox revisited their 2015 arrangement of the Imagine Dragons track Radioactive and gave it a shiny coat of fresh paint. This time, we’ve got singer Rogelio Douglas, Jr. heating up the room with his rich, soulful voice and a wild scat-beatbox solo.

To celebrate their 10th-anniversary concert tour, Postmodern Jukebox shared this wonderfully smooth and soulful jazz cover of Soundgarden’s 1994 track Black Hole Sun. That’s Ray Moore Jr. crushing it on vocals and drums. If it sounds familiar, that’s because it’s based on this arrangement performed by Haley Reinhart and PMJ back in 2016.

We bet you’ve never heard a song by The Smiths like this. Postmodern Jukebox and vocalist Ashley Campbell took Johnny Marr and Morrissey’s gloom-and-doom-filled 1986 track There Is a Light That Never Goes Out and gave it new life as something that could have been one of Marty Robbins’ old gunfighter ballads.

Postmodern Jukebox dusted off The Romantics’ 1980 hit What I Like About You and sent it even further back in the time machine. Their fresh interpretation gives the pop hit a 1960s sound, straight out of Motown, and clearly inspired by The Way You Do the Things You Do. That’s singer Tia Simone belting out the soulful vocals.

Chickity China, the Chinese chicken. Postmodern Jukebox and vocalist Emma Smith take on the Barenaked Ladies’ 1998 track One Week, revamping the fast-talking pop hit in the jazzy style of a 1940s lounge act. It’s another brilliant performance from Scott Bradlee’s retro cover band.

Pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox specializes in unique cover versions of popular songs. This time, Scott and drummer Roger Ross teamed up with vocalist and upright bass player Wild Bill for a wild interpretation of The Bee Gees’ disco classic Stayin’ Alive. They call it “Ragtime Rockabilly,” but we also get a Wild West saloon vibe.

The KISS song I Was Made for Lovin’ You offered a deliciously fun blend of rock and disco music. Now the 1979 track has a whole new sound courtesy of Postmodern Jukebox and vocalist Effie Passero. Scott Bradlee’s deft arrangement of the song is equal parts cabaret act and Ennio Morricone western soundtrack.

Postmodern Jukebox might be a little late to the party with their cover of Kate Bush’s Running up That Hill, but they really nailed it. With warm and powerful lead vocals by Sweet Megg, they performed this wonderfully interpretation of the track deftly blending western and jazz styles courtesy of arranger Scott Bradlee.

We’re suckers for The Pixies song Where Is My Mind? and always love hearing fresh interpretations of the track. Vocalist Allison Young teamed up with Postmodern Jukebox to deliver a great cover version with a melodramatic style inspired by the late Roy Orbison, who gave us such great songs like Crying and Only the Lonely.

Postmodern Jukebox and vocalist Haley Reinhart turn in a great cover of No Doubt’s 1995 track Don’t Speak, performed with a sultry and soulful 1960s vibe. If you love the style of singers like Adele and Amy Winehouse, you’ll definitely want to give this a listen.

See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen. The multi-talented Gunhild Carling joins Scott Bradlee and Aaron McLendon of Postmodern Jukebox for a fun 1920s jazz-infused remake of ABBA’s 1979 disco hit Dancing Queen.

Headed up by the silky smooth vocals of entertainer Maiya Sykes, the guys from Postmodern Jukebox offer up a soul-stirring soul cover of The Cranberries’ haunting 1994 track Zombie. Man, that song always gives us the chills.

Postmodern Jukebox and vocalist Jennie Lena turn in a swinging ’60s style cover version of Ozzy Osbourne’s rock classic Crazy Train. We can say with a high degree of certainty that Jennie won’t be biting the head off any bats any time soon.

Postmodern Jukebox teamed up with multitalented musician Gunhild Carling to transform hair band Europe’s 1986 hit The Final Countdown into a swinging dixieland jazz tune with vintage cabaret vocals. Bonus fact: most of Europe’s members and Gunhild are all Swedish.

Multitalented musician and vocalist Gunhild Carling teamed up with Postmodern Jukebox, to bring her unique performance style to a cover version of Pharrell William’s megahit Happy, as she proves she can play way more musical instruments most people on the planet.

PMJ’s Scott Bradlee and Chloe Feoranzo perform a wonderful cover version of Foo Fighters 1997 classic My Hero. For every 1,000 plays through 10/14/17, they’ll donate $10 to the UMC Foundation, who provided Level 1 trauma care during the recent tragedy in Las Vegas.
