Austinist Show Preview: Super Furry Animals at Emo's

They drink Brains, they support Cardiff City FC, and they don’t give a fuck. Best of all, the Super Furry Animals churn out off-kilter psychedelic pop at a prolific rate. Despite having put out eight stellar full-lengths in fifteen years (a couple of those accompanied by simultaneous DVD releases as well), the act is still somewhat under-appreciated, especially outside their home island. Their talent is boundless, their music all over the place yet melodious, and their shows are often enhanced with video medleys as the backdrop, including the clips of that adorable Golden Retriever that accompany, well, "Golden Retriever."

The Welsh act is touring in support of their latest record Hey Venus (their first for Rough Trade) which was released in the U.K. last year, but didn’t hit the streets Stateside till last week. Holy Fuck, recently invited by Rachael Ray to play her SXSW Party, open.

Check out the Super Furries' brilliant video for "(Drawing) Rings Around The World" off their 5th album after the jump!
