Guto Dafydd Pryce (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈɡɪtɔ]; born 4 September 1972 in Cardiff, Wales) is a bass guitar player and songwriter in the band Super Furry Animals. With them, he has recorded nine UK Albums Chart Top 25 studio albums, plus numerous singles, EPs, compilations and collaborations. Pryce also records and performs with several other musical acts including his band Gulp.
Pryce was in the Welsh-language band with his brother Iwan Pryce, Huw Bunford (also later of Super Furry Animals), Owen Powell (later of Catatonia) and others in a changing line-up, from 1989 to 1993. He recorded with Catatonia on their first two EPs before Super Furry Animals formed in 1993.
Working with dub and reggae label Trojan Records, Pryce put together a compilation Furry Selection: Luxury Cuts Of Trojan Chosen by a Super Furry Animal in 2007.
Pryce recorded The Golden Mile with The Peth in 2008, a group which features Welsh actor Rhys Ifans on vocals, Super Furry Animals band mate Dafydd Ieuan, Meilyr Gwynedd, Osian Gwynedd, Mick Hilton, Dic Ben and Kris Jenkins.
In 2010 Pryce played bass for Spectrum on their US and European tours.
Under the band name The Stand, Pryce joined Welsh actor Jonny Owen, Owen Powell (formerly of Catatonia), and Ryan Richards of Funeral for a Friend to record a fundraising single "I'll Be There" in 2010. (Stuart Cable of Stereophonics was involved in the project prior to his death.) Proceeds from sales went to a fund to erect a statue of the footballer Fred Keenor on the Cardiff City F.C. grounds. The song was adapted from the original written during the coal miner's General Strike of 1926 and often sung by Cardiff City fans. Pryce had previously shown his support for the team when the Super Furry Animals signed on as sponsors in 1999, with the band's name displayed on team jerseys.
