SXSW 2015: Carl Barât and the Jackels

South Congress on Friday has some decent bands playing and there's no worries about not getting into a venue.  If the weather is nice it is an option since I have a feeling Rainey Street is going to be insane.  Hotel San Jose has a good mix of new and old bands.  Times aren't listed yet but they'll go in this order starting at noon:

Joseph
Kaleo
Tigertown
Carl Barat/Jackals
Broncho
Houndmouth
The Zombies
Merchandise
Gang of Four

I've already mentioned Joseph and Kaleo, two bands I definitely want to see at some point.  We saw Broncho at the F1 Fan Fest and I thought they had potential.  You didn't like them.  Very Ramones sounding.  We loved Houndmouth at the Heartbreaker Banquet a couple years ago.  This could be their breakout year.  

Carl Barat is from the Libertines and this is a side project.  This sounds like the Clash.
