Biography
Biography
Bunford studied at Lanchester Polytechnic (now Coventry University) and worked as a teacher. His last teaching position was Head of Art at Ysgol Gyfun Rhydfelen near Pontypridd. Bunford's first band was the Welsh language school band Edrych am Jiwlia which was formed in Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf, Cardiff. From 1989 he played with Guto Pryce in the punk band U Thant, before they both joined Super Furry Animals. In 2012 Bunford performed a mix of found sounds with artist Naomi Kashiwagi at the Whitworth Art Gallery of University of Manchester. In 2013 he released music with Richard Chester under the band name Pale Blue Dots. Several songs were aired on BBC Radio Wales and C2 in Wales, and were posted on the group's SoundCloud page. Bunford also later studied film scoring and soundtrack production and has contributed to several film productions. In 2019 Bunford and three other members of Super Furry Animals formed a new group under the name Das Koolies, an alter ego SFA used around 2000 for an experimental electronic album that was never officially released. The only member of SFA not involved in Das Koolies is Gruff Rhys, who continues to work as a solo artist. Das Koolies released their debut album, DK.01, in October 2023.
