What's on at Union Chapel
Andrew McMahon
Categories, Pop and rock
If you remember the emo pop-punk of Something Corporate, then it's likely you'll already know their frontman Andrew McMahon ('garage-band king to your punk-rock princess', anyone? No?) . His solo fare is still emo, but it's more one-man-and-a-piano shtick...

Chris Wood + Olivia Chaney
Folk
- Critics' choice
His masterly 'Handmade Life' skewered Thatcher as 'the vicious old spiv who taught us all our greed is good'. And its follow-up, the forthcoming 'None the Wiser' (released July 6), looks no more likely to pull its lyrical punches. Quite simply our best...

Mt Wolf
Electronica
- Critics' choice
These four south Londoners handily combine two indie band name trends: mountains (as in Mount Kimbie, Mt Warning, Mount Eerie) and wolves (as in Wolf Alice, Wolf People,Wolf Gang). But their dark electronic pop has a finger-picking folk edge and their...

Adam Buxton – Kernel Panic
Stand-up, Solo shows, Big-name talent
The 'Adam' half of 'Adam & Joe' has been hosting brilliant fun music videos-based night Bug for yonks, but now he's going solo with a new tech-heavy solo show, exploring how we present ourselves in the internet age. Buxton + a laptop = brilliant buffoonery!...

Atmospheric, downtempo R&B-influenced tunes from Deptford Goth, who'll be a big hit with James Blake fans. Despite the name, this rising producer is actually based in Peckham – and his sweeping synth tracks aren't all that gloomy. Read our review of his...

Aimee Mann
Categories, Pop and rock
A sensitive songstress with a subtle twist, Mann released her eighth solo album 'Charmer' last year. She's still got the same vocal fire as when she sang 'Voices Carry' for Til Tuesday in 1985, and she's got plenty of beguiling tracks to pick from.
