The most creative of the contemporary Welsh bands, SFA consistently blend classic songwriting with often breathtaking experimentation. Causing a quiet revolution can't be easy, but SFA have all but managed it without ever breaking through to the musical mainstream.

And since their formation in the early 90s, the Super Furry legend has become something of a cliché: the blue techno tank, the 40ft inflatable bears, the record-breaking debut release, the song with that title. But that's doing lazy justice to their undoubted genius, for they're simply one of the most exciting and innovative groups to have ever emerged in Wales.

The various members of SFA all played in Welsh-language groups prior to forming, and came together as a mainly instrumental group in 1993 in Cardiff, playing around Wales and at celtic festivals in Europe.
