Super Furry Animals!

[ThomThomDrum]

I mean I like the album but...............

As do I, but I do now and again find myself frustrated I cant sing along to it and very much like Sigur Ros I find myself making up my own words.............and they make fucking no sense at all!

[Mardy]

Last time I saw SFA at Brixton Academy it was supporting Blur

[neil999]

Heaven!!!

[The Placid Casual]

They might do a cheeky warm up show round our way maybe Wessex? *crosses finggers*

As far as warm up shows go, I'd love them to do another show in the William Aston Hall, Wrexham. They played in 2005, but at that age, I had no idea of any of their songs

I was hoping against hope they'd be playing that again. The date for the Manchester one isn't great, but that's the one I'm getting a ticket for, and I'll have to hope that I can still get a Brixton ticket if I have an exam that day

That must have been absolutely mega Mardy

Sigur Ros make up a lot of words in their songs too

woohoo

I can help with the Welsh lessons! I think the two most important things you need to learn are Panad (pan-add) = cuppa, and Cwrw (coo-roo) beer.

[Mardy]

Yeah, it was good. But like I said the other day, Blur were always big, but not *that* big. No hysteria around them playing, was a fairly regular, routine occurance. Easy enough to get tickets. I guess gig-going has changed with this mad, frantic rush for tickets and stuff selling out in minutes.

[The Placid Casual]

I learned pen pidyn at a young age, like all us Welsh

[ThomThomDrum]

Sigur Ros make up a lot of words in their songs too

Tis known as Vonlenska or Hoplandic, but I have to put English on it in my head for some reason...........it results in very odd word combinations and sometimes it can detract from a tune........... eg Hljomalind is a class class tune, but Im singing "you rise on my phone"................???

[The Placid Casual]

Yeah, I find myself doing that a lot. The most common for me is on Svefn-G-Englar, where I find myself singing, 'it's youuuuuu'.

Just basic supply and demand economics at work. I saw SFA on their last two major tours (for Hey Venus! and Dark Days/Light Years) and I don't think there was any great scramble for tickets like there will be for these dates.

[Boopickledaddy]

Headlining the park would be perfect for them

Agreed would love them to headline that stage

[Mardy]

hahahaha Are they not the words? I didn't know that was the name of the song, but I know EXACTLY which track you mean there. I've been singing 'It's you-oo-ooo' to that for fucking decades.

[PhoenixNights2014]

Would love to see sfa again after their hiatus..gruff solo shows are awesome too

[Brave Sir Robin]

Aaaarggh, same week as Cave at the Albert Hall and PSB at the Roundhouse... Might have to wait for the next tour (and pray for Glasto of course).

hahaha i always thought those were the lyrics as well but decided to look it up and it's actually 'tju'. still sing 'it's you' though

[The Placid Casual]

tjú is basically meaningless, so crack on as you were

[CHRLY]

Any idea of prices?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Brixton is £35

[CHRLY]

Hm, might have to give the Albert Hall a miss if it's the same. Hoping for a Park headline then.

[The Placid Casual]

I think I'll head to Brixton too then if this is the case. Sounds like the shows are going to be must sees http://www.nme.com/news/super-furry-animals/83168
