Fu Manchu tomorrow night at the HOB


311 is kinda like Fu Manchu. Both bands turn out kick ass live shows no matter how many albums it's been since they released your favorite album or hit their peak. I'm listening to Fu Manchu's new album, "We Must Obey," and it sounds fuckin' amazing. The songs aren't groundbreaking or anything better than their last release, but the actual engineering is awesome. The group continues in the same punkier direction, but with the bigger fuzz-on-steroids production, it sounds as if someone forgot the volume was at 5 for the last album and corrected the situation by turning it up to ten for this one. Fu Manchu plays at the HOB Parish room tomorrow night. Click on the title link for an interview I did with drummer Scott Reeder in December 2004.
