The band formed in Cardiff in 1993 after Gruff and Dafydd split from a techno/indie outfit called Ffa Coffi Pawb (direct tranlation, everyone's coffie beans. Subliminal tranlation, Fuck off everyone - Fuck-off-i-pawb). During Gruff and Dafydd's two years in the band, along with Dewi Emlyn and Rhodri Puw while touring around Brittany and Wales.

After a period of inactivity the Super Furry Animals began in earnest. They released two EP's on the Welsh indie label Ankst which were recorded with producer Gorwell Owens in his home studio in the Anglesey village of Llanfaelog. They signed to Creation after Alan McGee saw them at their first London show at the Splash Club.
