Super Furry Animals

In the lead-up to their fervent live performance at the Astoria in 1998, Super Furry Animals had just released their album "Yeti" earlier that year. This project showcased their unique blend of psychedelic rock and pop, capturing audiences with sophisticated melodies and innovative sounds. The Astoria gig, recorded on November 30, 1998, represents a crucial moment in their journey—just as they were starting to garner a thriving cult following. The eclectic energy of their live shows, including the track "Do Or Die," truly encapsulates their spirit. Interestingly, this particular performance was filmed by a Japanese television crew, highlighting the band's expanding international appeal. It was eventually edited down for television, which speaks to the growing interest in their dynamic stage presence during this period.
