"A biography based on Super Furry Animals will be released in 2015.  The Rise of the Super Furry Animals, written by music journalist Ric Rawlins, will hit stores in February next year.  Rawlins, formerly digital editor of Artrocker, will document the story of the Welsh rock band&amp;#039;s rise to iconic status. The book, acquired by publishers The Friday Project, will tell the story of the band&amp;#039;s time signed to Creation Records. It will also cover their lavish marketing campaigns, which included equipping an army tank with a techno sound system and making plans to convert an aircraft carrier into a nightclub.  Lead singer Gruff Rhys said of the book: &amp;quot;Revolutionary, crazed and beautiful musical events and conversations that originally happened through the medium of a cracked youthful version of the Welsh language in the mid-nineties are presented here for the first time in quality English.  &amp;quot;Ric lifts the lid on these millennial events through comic re-enactments, cosmic speculations and passionate research for the recordings - which sometimes hits on truths that are closer to what happened than what actually happened.&amp;quot; Rawlins added: &amp;quot;The world of SFA is a fantastic place to take your imagination, and it&amp;#039;s an honour that they&amp;#039;ve allowed me to tell their tale. &amp;quot;Hopefully, I can repay them by turning up the spotlight on their visionary work.&amp;quot; Rhys recently played several shows at London&amp;#039;s Soho Theatre to support his latest solo album American Interior.
