Gigs, gigs, gigs...

I'm losing track of the amount of gigs the Furries have announced. I can't afford to go to any more this year so I'm not even sure what's already happened and what's still to come. They haven't been to Dubai yet, I know that much. I'll be waiting for the scandal after that one...!

They're turning into a right bunch of jet-setters this year, a couple of new ones;

November 10, São Paulo, Brazil
November 13, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

and

'Recreation'
Imagine my surprise when the NME reported a couple of days ago about 'Recreation'... which is just the fancy title of SFAs Cardiff Soundtrack gig on November 20. They're as good as me at breaking old news; the 'Recreation' gig is now sold out as it's been on sale for about a month. BUT Gruff is definitely premiering 'Seperado!' at the Soundtrack festival, on November 19, for which tickets are still available. Plus it will be followed by 'a Q&A session with pop legend GRUFF RHYS (Super Furry Animals), Director Dyl 'Goch' Jones and Guardian journalist and author Will Hodgkinson.' All for £6.90. You lucky lucky Cardiff people.

And still they come nowhere near Norfolk. In fact, they seem to be travelling further and further away. My mind control techniques must not be working.

Oh, and Gruff talks a bit more about 'Seperado!' in Buzz Magazine (pages 10-11). Sounding good, sounding good. Sounds like a film for Cinema City in Norwich, to me. Or the Picturehouse in Cambridge. Either would be good.

And another

December 18, Manchester Central, Manchester
Another gig has been announced, this time as support (...!) to the Doves.

I can't believe the Furries are back to a support slot after 15 years. And not only support but supporting the Doves with another band (Delphic)! When did the Doves become bigger than SFA? And who was the jammy git who approached the Furries to see if they'd support?

As I cough and splutter, trying to swallow my indignation, here's the link for tickets;
