"That comes from a demo I wrote that was about 15 seconds long. Initially it was about Patti Whitebull who slept for 15 years. She was in some kind of coma but they could tell she was dreaming. She woke up in 1999 and asked for pizza. "Everyone's had a lot of input musically. We didn't really know what we were doing and it's a lot more interesting for it. It's an amalgamation of the lyrics of different songs. I had a period of being totally disgusted by extreme sports. They're what people who don't suffer do to taste what suffering's like. My outlook on the subject is a bit milder now - it's probably better that people throw themselves off bridges on a bit of string than fight. It's probably a war replacement."
They are not under-rated in the slightest. Millions know they're an excellent band making innovative and cool and beautiful music. You may have wanted to ask 'Why is this band not well known', but that's a different matter. They didn't seek mainstream commercial success, although they had some. The masses like boring radio pap music. Those with different tastes like bands like the Furries and have done since the 90s.
Hola Sarah, yo solo conozco como una o dos de super furry animals, rings around the world y otra. Pero esta banda la Conoci por la estacion de radio en la ciudad mexico en los 90's llamada radioactivo. Un saludo Sarah.
Patty Whitebull fell asleep for fifteen years Then unexpectedly she woke to joy and tears She ordered pizza and then asked about her kids They're all grown up now on the reservation grid Sidewalk serfer girl I'd do anything to catch you falling Silent surfer girl I'd do anything to be with you sometimes Ooh Since Patty left the scene things are so extreme Sidewalk surfer girl's searching for a dream Paraglide from space die your bungee best Set yourself alight whilst famine kills the rest Sidewalk serfer girl I'd do anything to catch you falling Silent serfer girl I'd do anything to be with you sometimes Ooh Sometime Ooh Sometime Ooh When Patty's aunts are gone, the uncles will have fun She cruised the streets at night, she left home on the run (swell) She never talks to me, thinks I'm a major yawn (excuse me) Return the difference, don't retake me, I'm no pawn Sidewalk serfer girl I'd do anything to catch you falling Silent serfer girl I'd do anything to catch you falling [x4] (I dream of sidewalk serfer girl)
This DVD is absolutely amazing. Only the beginning vid is missed out. That's one of the trippiest things I have ever seen. Also I don't have Happiness Is A Warm Pun or All The Shit That U Do on mine. Am I missing something? Have I got an alternate version of the DVD or something? If somebody could let me know, I'd really appreciate it.

This band really is on another level, proper quality
probably the best lp of the 2000s
No question
proper tune, the bit at 1.35 where the bass comes back in....
One of the most interesting band in history of modern music

It's like ELO on acid, falling down the stairs.

Definitely mate. I've blown many minds in my front room with this DVD.
I took an acid trip watching that DVD, and I didn't even have to take any acid.

Patty Whitebull fell asleep for fifteen years
Then unexpectedly she woke to joy and tears
She ordered pizza and then asked about her kids
They're all grown up now on the reservation grid
Sidewalk serfer girl
I'd do anything to catch you falling
Silent surfer girl
I'd do anything to be with you sometimes
Ooh
Since Patty left the scene things are so extreme
Sidewalk surfer girl's searching for a dream
Paraglide from space die your bungee best
Set yourself alight whilst famine kills the rest
Sidewalk serfer girl
I'd do anything to catch you falling
Silent serfer girl
I'd do anything to be with you sometimes
Ooh
Sometime
Ooh
Sometime
Ooh
When Patty's aunts are gone, the uncles will have fun
She cruised the streets at night, she left home on the run (swell)
She never talks to me, thinks I'm a major yawn (excuse me)
Return the difference, don't retake me, I'm no pawn
Sidewalk serfer girl
I'd do anything to catch you falling
Silent serfer girl
I'd do anything to catch you falling
[x4]
(I dream of sidewalk serfer girl)
Insane !
I remember being in the Cornerhouse in Manchester when they first showed these. Everyone jumped when the distortion pedal came on.
SFA OK!

Thats the same with me
Edit: it’s fixed
I remember that the initial release was messed up and if you sent it back they gave you a replacement.
If it helps, the b-side songs are more of a bonus feature on the DVD
saddly it was not propagated better than ...today it would be "the" headliner everywere!!!
❤️
Caught four of them... lost three... its OK though. No dramas.
Were about in Wales do they come from? I would buzz if someone would let me know
The band formed in Cardiff I believe, however the members are from different places in Wales (Bangor, Bethesda, Cardiff)
