The 20th anniversary of the release of Super Furry Animals ’ album Fuzzy Logic will be celebrated on Friday night with a special event at Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff.

Something For The Weekend will mark two decades since the world was introduced to the Furries’ debut on Creation Records and will feature DJ sets from long-time SFA collaborators Kliph Scurlock and Kris Jenkins, as well as visuals by Dyl Goch - the filmmaker who created Separado! and American Interior with Furries’ frontman Gruff Rhys .

Scurlock and Jenkins will be playing all things SFA - hits, fan favourites, B-sides, rarities, side projects - and even some previously unheard material during the event.

Meanwhile, Goch will be producing live visuals throughout the evening, drawing on his years of footage filming the band.

The night is the brainchild of writer Sarah King and former Flaming Lips’ drummer Scurlock, who has now moved to Cardiff.

“Sarah was talking to me about how they had done a Beatles night at Clwb and how it had been a great time and was wondering out loud what other bands that could possibly work for,” said Scurlock.

“Being a Furries fanatic, I immediately blurted out, ‘SFA, of course!’ I guess the reason is to pay tribute to the band that I think is the second greatest rock ‘n’ roll band of all time. They did a Beatles’ night already, so the greatest band is taken care of.”

The musician admitted choosing a set of songs to play on the night was no mean feat.

“Well, they have well over a hundred absolutely classic tunes, so you can expect a small percentage of those to be played at a very loud volume. I also have access to a lot of unreleased stuff, so I reckon a decent amount of that may find itself blaring out of the speakers.”

There is also the promise of a few SFA props making an appearance.

“Dyl Goch, who is SFA’s live video guy, will be doing video that night, so that will be a treat. And Krissy Jenkins, who is a local hero and plays percussion with SFA, will be co-DJ’ing, so that will be a real treat as well. As far as props go, we’ll see if Krissy and I will be able to sweet talk the band into letting us borrow things for the night.”

Kansas-born Scurlock, who played drums for US art rock giants Flaming Lips from 2002 to 2014, said his love affair with Welsh music started with Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci back in the late ‘90s.

“In 1998. I had come to the UK to follow Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci around on tour and asked (Gorky’s frontman) Euros Childs one night about what other Welsh bands I should check out.

“He told me SFA and said, ‘I don’t know if I should have told you that. Once you hear them, we won’t be your favourite band anymore’. I picked up the Ice Hockey Hair EP at an HMV the following morning and listened to it on the train and fell in love with it.

“When I got to the next town, there was another HMV and I went in and picked up (the albums) Radiator and Fuzzy Logic and have been an obsessive fan ever since.”

Something For The Weekend is at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff, on Friday, from 10pm-3am. Tickets priced £5 are available from Clwb Ifor Bach via www.clwb.net
