Fu Manchu- Wednesday, November 9th at 8pm (with Honky / The Shrine) Tickets- $12 in advance/ $15 day of show “Fu Manchu will be preforming their album In Search Of… at the Grog Shop! Released in 1996, In Search Of… is still praised as the ultimate st0ner rock album! Originally formed in 1985 as a Black Flag-influenced hardcore punk band called Virulence / Fu Manchu has since become one of hard rock’s most celebrated names. The band released its first single, “Kept Between Trees” in 1990 and in the years following, helped give rise to a celebrated style of heavy music tagged “stoner rock” alongside peers such as Kyuss , Monster Magnet and Sleep. Since its inception, the quartet has built itself a fanatical army of loyal enthusiasts all drawn to the group’s ridiculously catchy, unpretentious music, guitar-driven sound and carefree lyrics centered on “old muscle cars, choppers, vans, skateboarding and science fiction.” “I can’t believe that it has been 15 years since we recorded “In Search Of..” states Fu Manchu vocalist/guitarist Scott Hill”We are stoked to be playing these tunes for the fans and will be doing a few of them for the first time ever and maybe the last.” The band intends to replicate the classic album experience in upcoming tours with subsequent albums and their companion vinyl reissues.” www.grogshop.gs
