The Jackal\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>When I hear a cool song\/see a cool music video and am not near a pen, I make a note of it on my phone for further investigation. The first name on one of my older cellular notes was &#8216;Scoundrels&#8217; but, helpfully, without a song name&#8230;still, I&#8217;d obviously heard something of theirs that I thought was pretty cool, which boded well for their performance.<\/p>\n<p>I confess, I wasn&#8217;t blown away by the band, but I did enjoy watching them. They were cool and had some amusing lyrics and anecdotes (like dedicating one song to biltong and claiming that they&#8217;d each eaten their weight in dried meat since arriving in SA). They also spoke a little Afrikaans, which was sweet.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
