Fu Manchu - New Album and Tour in 2018

There are two sets of demos out now. One has a couple of otherwise unreleased songs like Foot Down and Low, Go For It and The Answer Lies.

 

...ahh, good to know. The one I have has “Planet Of The Ape Hangers”.

 

They both have that song! Should've been on the album, that one.

Anyway, this was the original demos collection - California Crossing Demos by Fu Manchu
Then they recently put this one out - California Crossing 1st Demo by Fu Manchu

I'm not sure what the various differences between the two are, apart from the track listing, but I think they're two different sets of recordings. I could be wrong though.

 

Thanks guys. I now have a decent idea where to start, and where to go.

 

I saw Fu Manchu last night. They put on a great performance! I can't believe these guys are playing small clubs like the one last night. It probably holds 300. I can't think of a better hard rock band to see in concert. The sound was good (for a concert) and they were in top form IMO.

 

...awesome! I got tickets for July. They’re playing at a bar nearby in Costa Mesa. Looking forward to it. I’ve seen them a few times in similar venues and it’s always a great time. Last time I saw them Fatso Jetson opened. Another band I really dig.
Who was it last night?

 

Great that you got to see them again!

I had tix to see them in ATL, but I still hadn’t settled back in from last week’s NYC trip to see Steven Wilson (two nights), so I gave Fu a pass this time. I wish they were playing closer.

 

Mos Generator opened for them.
