On this day, 29 April 1997, Welsh indie rock band Feeder played Cardiff University.
Formed in Newport in 1994, Feeder's debut album, Polythene, was released in May 1997.


Polythene was acclaimed by critics, including Metal Hammer and Kerrang!, who placed the album at first and sixth in their respective end-of-year lists. Some critics labeled the band "The UK's answer to the Smashing Pumpkins", and also drew comparisons to The Pixies and Talk Talk.
