  • “SXSW 2013: The British are coming!”

    As the annual Texas beanfest of music gets underway, we look at some of the Brits who might make their mark

    True, a lot of the Ones to Watch at SXSW 2013 – from DIIV to Danny Brown, Death Grips to Flaming Lips – are either established or American, or both. And yet the festival is still the industry's most prestigious annual showcase for new and emerging talent from all over the world and the place to be for any aspiring British act. So here are 10 touted UK artists to see over the next few days in Texas.

  • “Feast: the Young Vic goes Yoruba”

    It spans 300 years, takes in five countries – and needed 10 writers. Maddy Costa on an ambitious attempt to dramatise the culture and belief system of Yoruba

    There's a party going on. Damon Albarn is busy improvising on a thumb piano. Sola Akingbola, the drummer from Jamiroquai, is playing a shuffle on a shekere (a large maraca strung with beads). And Cuban dancer Yanet Fuentes is shivering her hips to the rhythm. In the middle of it all sits theatre director Rufus Norris – the man responsible for harnessing this hubbub and putting it on stage.

  • “No 9: Hot Chip – In Our Heads”

    Our countdown of the year's best albums continues with Hot Chip's In Our Heads. On their stellar fifth album, the great British pop group combined fun, warmth and sincerity

    What a lovely group Hot Chip have become. Quietly, unassertively – this is the most diffident of bands – they have crept up in music's outside lane, surpassing flashier and more boastful groups, accumulating a catalogue that now stands comparison with the best English pop has offered over the last 30 years or so.

  • “Acid Jazz at 25: 'Everyone said we were mad'”

    Tom Horan on the label that brought mod classics back to the dance floor, signed Jamiroquai and rediscovered Terry Callier

    'It was just going to be a party label. We didn't take it too seriously," says Eddie Piller. His cockney tones a little frayed after a soul weekender at the Ambassador Suite in Bournemouth, the clubland veteran and DJ is contemplating the remarkable feat of keeping an independent record label alive for a quarter of a century. And not just any label. Like 2 Tone before it, his Acid Jazz imprint – 25 years old this year – became a genre of its own.

  • “Write for us about: unusual gig locations”

    What's the most unusual place you've seen a band or musician play? Let us know for this week's readers' panel

    For a man who once described himself as a "sexosaurus" and helmed a series of operatic music videos about an adulterous tryst with a midget, eyebrows were at a standstill when R Kelly announced he was planning a five-day Mediterranean cruise-ship tour.

  • “A glimpse inside The Hit Factory”

    Were Stock, Aitken and Waterman the utter nadir of pop, or unfairly maligned geniuses? A bit of both, perhaps

    Next week, Hyde Park plays host to The Hit Factory Live, a celebration of the music of Stock, Aitken and Waterman. It's an event almost guaranteed to give a case of the vapours to the rock fan of a certain age, old enough to remember when Hyde Park was the venue to which the nation's freaks flocked for free concerts. Has it really come to this? Rick Astley and Sinitta desporting themselves in the very place where Mick Jagger quoted Shelley and released butterflies? Sonia taking to the hallowed stage once trod by Blind Faith, King Crimson and Roy Harper and "Heavy Friends"?

  • “Fenech-Soler – review”

    ABC, Glasgow

    "We were meant to be here sooner, sorry for the inconvenience," came Ben Duffy's apology for the misfortune that has interrupted Fenech-Soler's steady rise. The young Northamptonshire band's singer was diagnosed with early-stage testicular cancer in March, forcing the postponement of a UK tour while he underwent chemotherapy. It's a negative out of which they're boldly striving to make a positive; if they play out of their skin every night like they did here, the lost time will quickly be more than accounted for.
