"I'm not this random guy. I'm the bass player."
After all that pontificating, I didn't even name check Guto! Feeling slightly guilty, I thought I'd put up a few links to some Guto-centric interviews. The truth is I don't actually know if he's doing any side projects at the moment... I know he did that Furry Selection (which apparently doesn't even mention him by name either), but I haven't heard about any solo work. But it's not a necessity anyway, he's part of SFA, what more could you want?
Hmm, no solo projects, the only member of SFA who doesn't sing, he rarely is the subject of interviews... he's a bit of an enigma, really. Which is kinda cool. Plus he's into Robert Anton Wilson and tech literature, according to Gruff. And RAW is a legend.
Anyway here's some of my favourite interviews with Guto to enjoy, he always starts off a bit guarded but soon opens up;
Under the Radar
Spring 2005, Guto talks about the Super Furry Animals studio experience, his influences, Wales... Make sure you check out the rest of Under the Radar, there's quite an extensive piece on SFA (more in the mag, if only I could find it...)
The Fur and the Fury
November 2007, a nice little interview with him. Perceptive questions and perceptive answers.
PopMatters
February 2004, talking about the music, man.
Drowned in Sound
The reader-supplied questions are a bit inane but... some interesting answers from Guto.
Feel better now...
Karen just pointed me to another nice interview with Welsh Bands Weekly from 1999 over at One Eyed Bear. Check the rest of the site out as well, there's a ridiculous amount on there.

There's The Peth! And Furry Selections:

And the forthcoming release of the much-whispered about, highly anticipated triple vinyl-only box set release of Guto Sings! ;)

Haha! Guto Sings! Maybe he should do a Christmas album, I could see him doing Little Drummer Boy a la Bing and Bowie. Pa-rupa pum-pum.
I put a link up to the Furry Selection (but I gave it the wrong name... will ffix it now!)
Guto doesn't have anything to with The Peth does he...? I have to admit I'm ignorant when it comes to The Peth.
Thanks for the link, your archives are so extensive, I get lost sometimes!
