Goldfrapp

Unfairly bracketed as a mutant post-Portishead confection, Goldfrapp is the twisted lovechild of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory. With Alison providing a sultry visual focus, their sound is both filmic and sensual - while recently a harder disco edge has crept in...

Richard Hawley

Previously a guitarist with Sheffield bands the Longpigs and Pulp, Richard Hawley is already four albums into his prolific solo career. A regular guest on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 6 Music, Hawley gladly takes over the headphones while Marc Riley is away.

Morrissey

Morrisey's performance at this year's SxSW festival will be one of his first live gigs before he embarks on several European dates and a massive UK tour and with a new album ready for release, 2006 looks likely to be a very good year for Mozzer.

Corinne Bailey Rae

With a beguiling blend of soul, blues and pop, Corinne Bailey Rae is being hailed as the UK's brightest new talent.

The Zutons

It's been almost two years since The Zutons broke into the mainstream with their sax-led indie pop, but they have a new album scheduled for Spring 2006, so SxSW will allow them to showcase a whole set of new material.
