He performs solo and with several bands, including Super Furry Animals who obtained mainstream success in the 1990s. He formed the electro-pop outfit Neon Neon with Boom Bip. Their album Stainless Style was nominated for the 2008 Nationwide Mercury Prize. He won the 2011 Welsh Music Prize for his album Hotel Shampoo.

Musical career
Ffa Coffi Pawb
As a teenager in 1985, Gruff Rhys played drums for the North Wales band, Machlud, appearing at the Pesda Roc festival in Bethesda. After playing drums for the band Emily, Rhys found fame in Wales as the front man of Ffa Coffi Pawb. Translated, the name means 'everyone's coffee beans', though if said quickly in Welsh, it can sound like 'fuck off everyone' in English and Welsh combined.

'Sensations In The Dark' is taken from Gruff Rhys album 'Hotel Shampoo'. Directed by Peter Gray, who also helmed 'Shark Ridden Waters', the video follows Gruff through the underbelly of Nashville, Tennessee. Gray introduces some insane psychoanalytical layers of interpretation (and a horse) to a song that had previously seemed so innocent.

#GruffRhys #SeekingNewGods
Gruffydd Maredudd Bowen Rhys (Welsh pronunciation:[ˈɡrɨ̞fɨ̞ð maˈrɛdɨ̞ð ˈbowɛn ˈr̥ɨːs]; born 18 July 1970 in Haverfordwest) is a Welsh musician, composer, producer, filmmaker and author. He performs solo and with several bands, including Super Furry Animals who obtained mainstream success in the 1990s. He formed the electro-pop outfit Neon Neon with Boom Bip. Their album Stainless Style was nominated for the 2008 Nationwide Mercury Prize. He won the 2011 Welsh Music Prize for his album Hotel Shampoo. His latest solo album, American Interior, was released in May 2014, accompanied by a film, a book and a mobile app.
Musical career
Ffa Coffi Pawb
As a teenager in 1985, Gruff Rhys played drums for the North Wales band, Machlud, appearing at the Pesda Roc festival in Bethesda. After playing drums for the band Emily, Rhys found fame in Wales as the front man of Ffa Coffi Pawb. Translated, the name means 'everyone's coffee beans', though if said quickly in Welsh, it can sound like 'fuck off everyone' in English and Welsh combined.
Lighten up the dark avenues with golden glow worms, Raindrops fill my eyes, Tears falling, Puddles form. And with a pocket full of Asprin, I gather up my every day, As the target for assassin disappears and blows away. For you are the beacon in the darkness, You shine, the shining light at night. People in the way, different times that we were playing, Kept it all inside; Growing like a big balloon. As if we lived in different planets, Of parallels that pull away, And the breathing apparatus is out of date, and in decay. Still, you are the Beacon in the darkness. You shine the shining light at night And you solve the mysteries of illusion For you are the puzzle as complete. Gather up the board games that we played when we were young, With father, mother, brother, sister, daugter in the sun. For you are the beacon in the darkness You shine the shining light at night And you solve the mysteries of illusion
