Bandleading Mr. Greg Lewis and his noted Funeral 5 always deliver the perfect eulogy for a slow-death lifestyle. Dark melodies, in a range of rhythms, hold your soul and gently guide it to the other side, while simultaneously comforting your relatives with a good story and great toast. The punk-positive, skank-inducing Desplantes from Chihuahua, Mexico also cross Friday’s marquee, rounded out by Austin’s raw, jangly post-punk quintet Die Hard Habits.
