DUBLIN—Super Furry Animals reunited for their first show in a decade on Tuesday night. The Welsh art-rock legends played to a sold-out crowd. Fans had waited ten years for this moment. The band confirmed this was indeed their first show in a decade. It also marked their first public performance since 2016. This reunion comes after years of solo projects. It also follows the rise of their side project, Das Koolies.
A Decade of Silence
The group took the stage to thunderous applause. Lead singer Gruff Rhys squinted at the audience. He then adjusted his spectacles. “It’s good to be back,” Rhys mumbled into the microphone. He sounded surprised to be there. “We haven’t done this in a while. A whole decade, in fact.” The Super Furry Animals’ setlist included fan favorites. They also played some deep cuts. The band seemed to remember most of the songs. Some solos were slightly longer than usual. Other solos were noticeably shorter.
Brenda McGillicuddy, Official Treasurer of the Super Furry Animals Fan Club, expressed her elation. “I never thought I’d see them again,” she stated. “This reunion is everything. I can’t believe the Super Furry Animals reunited for their first show in a decade. I’ve waited ten long years.” She clutched a worn-out band t-shirt. It depicted their iconic cartoon badger. The shirt had faded considerably.
Lingering Questions Remain
Many attendees questioned the band’s commitment. “They look a bit tired,” observed fan Kevin Bellwether. Bellwether is the Self-Appointed Chief Analyst of Reunions. “Did they rehearse? It’s hard to tell. It’s been a decade. That’s a long time.” The band’s drummer, Dafydd Ieuan, reportedly took a 15-minute break mid-set. He went to find his car keys. He was later seen asking security for directions.
At press time, the band announced they were taking another decade-long break. They needed time to consider if this was all worth it.
