Gruff Rhys Announces North American Tour

10:20 a.m. · February 23, 2011 · by Andrew Martin

Gruff Rhys dropped off his third solo effort, Hotel Shampoo, last week. And, apparently, the album's title is a reference to the fact that he likes to collect the little shampoo bottles found in hotel bathrooms. With that in mind, his upcoming tour of North America is pretty much a win-win for the Super Furry Animals frontman. Not only does he get to further promote his latest record, but he can also hoard all the shampoo bottles he wants. Score!
