Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) and Ulrich Schnauss September 23, 2007

Members, seniors, students $14; nonmembers, general admission $18.

The frontman of Super Furry Animals, Gruff Rhys’ second solo album Candylion, has been an immediate success. It is “completely cohesive and as comforting and deja-vu dreamy as the wallpaper from your childhood bedroom” (Independent on Sunday). His solo work is an outlet for his mellower, more acoustic tunes than those he writes with SFA.

Ulrich Schnauss has been making music under various guises his whole life, taking influences from all kinds of places, including the indie world of Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) and Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins). Ulrich has been asked to work with and remix artists including Mojave 3, Longview and The Zephyrs.
