On this day, 16 May 2004, rock band Supergrass played Cardiff University. Support was provided by Cathy Davey.
Formed in 1993 for the majority of the band's tenure, the line-up has consisted of brothers Gaz (lead vocals, guitar) and Rob Coombes (keyboards), Mick Quinn (bass, backing vocals), and Danny Goffey (drums, backing vocals). It was originally a three-piece, before Rob Coombes officially joined in 2002.
The band signed to Parlophone Records in 1994 and produced I Should Coco (1995), the label's best-selling debut album since the Beatles' Please Please Me. Their first album's fourth single, "Alright", was an international hit. The band went on to release five more albums: In It for the Money (1997), Supergrass (1999), Life on Other Planets (2002), Road to Rouen (2005) and Diamond Hoo Ha (2008), as well as a compilation called Supergrass Is 10 (2004).
