Must See for SXSW are [Catfish and the Bottleme](https://www.facebook.com/catfishandthebottlemen)n, making their US touring debut over from Wales and if I ever had only seen them performing on Letterman (unlikely, because I don’t watch TV), I would not have really been impressed. Looks too much like a Julian Casablancas impersonation ([huge fan!](http://www.glamglare.com/music/2015/2/5/life-soundtrack-the-strokes-is-this-it)) and overall they sounded unfortunately a little weak and seemed trying “too hard” with their rock-star outfits. Luckily though, I listened to their album, once, twice and then some and came to really like it, which aside from their smash hit *Kathleen* is loaded with lots of great tracks. My favorite song on *Balcony* was quickly identified: *Pacifier.*

Do yourself a favor, and listen to *Pacifier* first, without any visuals.

Then check out the hit single *Kathleen* and Catfish and the Bottlemen’s performance at Letterman:

  
And here the same song with its official video. *Kathleen* is definitely a catchy song, which not surprisingly finds its listeners and even its way into the [Billboard charts](http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6443593/emerging-picks-of-the-week-01-16-2015?ref=glamglare.com)! The video is kind of a classic Rock ‘n’ Roll video and equally enjoyable.
