SUPER FURRY ANIMALS IN COLOMBIA

I don't know if anyone on here has heard of Welsh rock band Super Furry Animals, but I recently bought a DVD of theirs called Songbook Volume 1. It has all the videos for their songs on it.
Anyway I'll get to the point, the video for a song called 'DEMONS' was filmed in Colombia.
As I have never been to Colombia yet, this video amazed me. There is footage of beautiful mountains, waterfalls, a large blue villa in the countryside.
It shows footage of Colombian locals going about their lives,people riding horses down the street, people riding around in those brighly coloured buses, happy kids playing on bicycles, a street band playing brass instruments, couples dancing.
Seeing this video has made me want to visit even more, when you see how beatiful the country looks and how happy some of these people look. This coupled up with the soothing Welsh voice of Gruff Rhys makes for a very romantic image of Colombia.
I realise that this band might not be a lot of peoples musical taste, or might not have been heard of by some people on here but as it was filmed in Colombia, I just thought I would let you all know about it.
I have been searching the internet like mad for the video so I could put on a link but have had no luck.
If anyone gets the chance anywhere to see this video, you should.(and you will probably like the music aswell).

Super Furry Animals - Demons

If Yep is still reading the forum he can find the video I bet.

Please Yep, I wanna see the video.

I wonder what connection a Welsh band has with Colombia, anyone know?

I thought for sure that the super furry animals you were talking about would be some of Daver's favorites: the beaver. Alas, alack and alay, such was not the case. Don't say anything to Kat about this thread or else it'll be another trip to Brazil.

Goatsucker I'm not sure what their connection with Colombia is Kernow, but they did write another song called Chupacabras.(translated as Goatsucker)
Which is some kind of South American mythical creature that bites and drains the blood from goats and other farm animals.
It has supposedly been sighted in Central America mainly Costa Rica but has also been sighted in Colombia.
Has anyone ever heard of this????????????

Chupacabras are well known in Mexico and South Texas. Heck not long ago there was a story here in the newspaper about some guy who claimed to have shot a chupacabra. Suspiciously it looked an awful lot like a mangy old dog.

Chupacabras & Super Furry Animals I saw a documentary recently on Chupacabras in Puerto Rico, they claim to have an infestation of them currently, ripping out the throats and hearts of farm animals.

I located the video clips and I am downloading them, once I have them and checked them I will post a download link.

Yeah Carter, amazing band. I've seen them live in Glasgow 6 times now, they just announced a gig at the Barrowlands in Glasgow for September.
I'm booking my ticket tonight and I'll be seeing them at T in the Park Festival this summer.
You should get your hands on a copy of the DVD - Songbook Volume 1
