Fu Manchu first got together in 1985 in Orange County, California, influenced by Black Flag and calling themselves Virulence. They released “Kept Between Trees,” a single, in 1990, and began a shift toward their iconic style, a sound born of the desert and labeled “stoner rock,” a category that also contained bands like Sleep and Kyuss.
During their career, Fu Manchu has sold out venues throughout the world. They have built a loyal fan following who enjoy the band’s heavy use of guitars and their whimsical lyrics that reference everything from science fiction to skateboarding to old muscle cars.
They have recorded 14 studio albums, releasing their newest, “The Return of Tomorrow,” in 2024. The effort is a double album of new material, designed to be a vinyl listening experience. The first disk features their signature “fuzz” sound, including the catchy “Loch Ness Wrecking Machine,” and “Hands of the Zodiac,” the first single. The second disk comprises six songs at a slower tempo.
A live concert review says:
“It was a night of head-banging, heavy grooves, and a reminder that rock ‘n’ roll is very much alive and burning up . . .”
Fu Manchu will be at the Music Box on November 7. Posters, which are traditional advertising for events like this, can be found at Print shops.
