Is anyone here planning on going to the Super Furry Animals concert next
Wednesday night, June 7, at the Black Cat (downtown Washington, DC)? If
so, are you interested in meeting at a nearby restaurant or coffeeshop a
half-hour to an hour before doors open and going to the club together as
a group?

The Super Furry Animals is a highly acclaimed alt-rock Welsh band. For
more info on them, you can check out the Artist Direct Network at http://
www.ubl.com or the New Musical Express site at http://www.nme.com (look
under the Reviews section).

One of SFA's most recent albums, 'Guerrilla,' received a 9/10 rating in
NME and their latest album 'Mwng' is supposed to be outstanding,
according to the very hard-to-please British press. ('Mwng' is all in
Welsh, incidentally, and it's said to be really beautiful - I believe it,
based on the few songs I've heard from it already on compilation CDs.)

The sound of their music is hard to describe. It can be hard-edged in a
great way, but also can sound very soft and melodic.

One of my housemates is practically in love with lead singer Gruff Rhys
already based on his looks alone (okay, I'm exaggerating about her -
maybe), but she's been sick lately and may not feel up to going. And
going to concerts alone (especially in the neighborhoods of the Black Cat
and the 9:30 Club) can be a little intimidating. So that's why I'm
posting this!
(as you know, it's not always easy to find people who share a strong
interest in the UK music scene if you live in the "good ol'" U.S. of A.)

Someone else tried this idea - of posting like this to the Internet - for
a Morrissey concert earlier this year at the 9:30 Club and it worked out
great. Five or six of us went to the concert as a group.

So anyway, if interested in the idea, please contact me at
bobbi_r@depechemode.com. Thanks!
