Fu Manchu Announce Summer European Tour
I don’t know if anybody’s been keeping up at all, but for the last eight Friday closeouts, I’ve been embroiled in a Fu Manchu catalog series. Why did I decide to take a front-to-back look at one of West Coast heavy rock’s most crucial bands, suddenly, more than 35 years into their career? Because I’ve never listened to a Fu Manchu record and been bummed on the other side of it. Simple as that.
But just because I’m about a quarter-century behind the band at this point doesn’t necessarily mean I can’t keep up with current events. As the San Clemente generational fuzz kingpins continue to support their 2024 full-length, The Return of Tomorrow (review here), they’ll embark this summer on a European run that mostly goes from festival to festival but also features a few choice club dates tying it all together. Rock im Wald, Krach am Bach and Blue Moon Festival back-to-back-to-back is one hell of a weekend (actually it’s the start of that week), but even that’s just part of the proeedings here.
I’m curious what Fu Manchu‘s plans for this Fall will be. They did East and West Coast US tours last year, so if they’ll be back in Europe to do the Fall circuit, I wouldn’t necessarily be surprised, but oddly enough, listening to them at a steady pace for the last two months-plus has made me want to see them again, so if they happened through (scenic) Parsippany, New Jersey, or some major urban center nearby, that wouldn’t be the worst. We shall see.

Now a GOOD use of AI would be to upload the poster and have the text extracted from the photo so you could just copy and paste it!
You’re right, it would be.
Woohoo, finally Poland :D
