The nutty Welshmen in Super Furry Animals headed to Brooklyn on Friday night for the second stop on their North American tour in support of latest album Hey Venus!. The crowd at the Music Hall of Williamsburg let down their guard long enough to act as silly as the guys on stage; maybe they were just happy that the band let them pick the set list? Canadian crazies Holy Fuck opened, giving the Furrys a run for their money in the wackiness department.

The Holy Super Furry Fuckin’ Animals trek continues tomorrow night in North Carolina. The bands part ways in mid-February, with Super Furry Animals picking up Times New Viking and Holy Fuck joining forces with A Place to Bury Strangers.
