Super Furry Animals add extra Irish date

Welsh wizards Super Furry Animals have revealed details of a concert in Cork.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 08 Aug 2007

Following their gob-smacking performance at Lovebox at Malahide Castle, the band announced a Dublin and Belfast concert, to which they're now adding a date at the Savoy, Cork, on 15 October.

The band are currently preparing to release new album Hey Venus! on August 24.

It's a concept album of sorts, "following a young woman called Venus moving from a small town to a big metropolis and following her adventures”, as lead singer Gruff Rhys explains.

A preview will be available in the form of single 'Show Your Hand', out on Friday.

Tickets for the Cork show are €30 from Tickets.ie, Pluggd records or Fred Zeppelin's.

Also adding an extra Irish date are The National. After moving from The Village to The Olympia on November 1, the Ohio band have added a show at the Ambassador, Dublin, playing on October 30 too.

Splassssshhhh! As befits the Super Furry Animals, their seventh studio album begins, in Gruff Rhys’ words, with “the sound of us jumping into a pool”.

The Welsh wonders are back with some more madcap behaviour. ‘Lazer Beam’ is full of the infectious hooks, random sounds and innovative thinking we’ve come to associate with them, but presented in an understated manner this time. As a taster for the much-anticipated Love Kraft LP, it confirms that their quirky sounds have been sorely missed, even though their seat’s been kept warm by the Scissor Sisters. They can go home now.

Currently soundtracking various anti-Bush TV soundbites (of course), this version of the single takes almost a full three minutes to kick in, but once it does, it makes for pretty anthemic listening.

Defecating lemurs, exploding dogs, dirty movies, alien abduction and, of course, the longest feet in pop. it can all only mean that Gruff Rhys & Co. are back.

The making of Phantom Power, bringing it all back home to Wales and (sigh) why the Irish are great – the Super Furry Animals share a jar with Eamon Sweeney

No need for patiently sitting through a set of newies just to hear one or two old classics. These are the hits, delivered in inimitable SFA style.

Many of these gorgeous songs, which are steeped in mournful pedal steel (especially the thematically representative ‘Sex, War and Robots’) and couched in intricate arrangements, deal directly with broken relationships and war.

Whatever is said about them, no one can level the accusation that Super Furry Animals are one-trick ponies. These Welsh rare bits are capable of following the most glorious pop moments with a large dollop of techno, drum 'n' bass and whatever you're having yourself, bosco.
