Super Furry Animals will release their eighth studio LP on August 27. The title on the sleeve: Hey Venus!.
The album, as is traditional, will be preceded by a single. 'Show Your Hand' is released on August 13. Both come to you via the Rough Trade stable. Nice.
And on to live news: the band are to play a four-night residency at Cardiff's Clwb Ifor Bach next month, starting on June 11 and finishing - like, d'uh - on June 14. The band haven't played said venue for some 12 years. Full forthcoming live dates as follows:
June 11-14 Cardiff Clwb Ifor Bach 19 London ICA 22 Glastonbury Festival
July 13 Lounge On The Farm Kent 14 Coventry Godiva Festival 21 London and Dublin Lovebox
August 25 Cardiff Metro Weekender 31 Glasgow Connect
September 2 Jersey Jersey Live 15 End Of The Road Festival
Tickets for the Clwb Ifor Bach shows go on sale at 9am on Monday, May 28. Tickets are restricted to two per person. Same for London. Yup.
