One of my current favourite bands;
The latest in a line of great acts including Future of the Left & the previously featured McClusky... (Although I think the singer is English, but they're based here in Cardiff)
Still love the Super Furries, of course. Never bettered!

Classic Super Furries, slowly descending into techno at around 3.5 mins. Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...

Can't believe the mighty Joanna Gruesome didn't get a shout out. Originally from Wales, but many of the band moved to Brighton.
Winners of The Welsh Music Prize 2013/14 with their cracking debut LP 'Weird Sister' when they were up against folk like the Manics, Cate Le Bon, Euros Childs, Gruff Rhys and so on. They were always a cracking live band too.

Yep, it still does that to me too.
Another of my favourites by them is about four songs in one, including Gruff singing death metal!

I had no idea Sassafras were/(are?) Welsh .... well, well, well
"Sassafras were a rock band from South Wales first formed in 1970. They played a mix of rock and roll, progressive rock and country rock with the emphasis on vocal harmony. The use of twin guitar solos was a distinctive feature of their music. The band holds the UK record for the group performing the greatest number of live gigs in a year."
The twin lead guitar sound was also a feature of Wishbone Ash, of course.
I have 'expecting company' on vinyl. It's a terrible press. Disappointingly on ebay you can buy the vinyl second hand for £11.00 to £55.00.
Pleased to see my two original High Tide vinyls are going for a minimum of £125 each

Yeah I remember Sassafras, my brother had an album (or more, can't recall). I used to sneak into his room when he went out, play his records and read his porn mags / MAD magazines ...... for years I thought an LSD trip was a package holiday in old money
