UKNY For March 5

Yes, March madness approaches: the burritos, bands and beer juggernaut of SXSW is just ten days away. On tonight's UKNY at 11, we'll hear a few of the British artists and bands making their way to Austin, Texas, like the soulful Welsh singer Violet Skies and scrappy Hertfordshire teenager Declan McKenna.
Also, new (and delightfully weird) music from Cate Le Bon, the neon-colored psychedelic pop of Dan Amor and Huw Owen (courtesy of the cool Cae Gwyn label) and the brief return of Sheffield's Monkey Swallows The Universe. And a David Bowie track that seems suited for a particularly surreal week in American politics.
