WA Gigs / FU MANCHU (US) + BLACK COBRA (US) w/ The Devil Rides Out - Sat May 5 @ Rosemount
« on: February 22, 2012, 07:35:15 PM »
Life is Noise and Heathen Skulls Present: legendary stoner rock outfit Fu Manchu (USA) live at The Rosemount Hotel North Perth on Saturday May 5.
With support from Black Cobra (USA), Matt Sonic and the High Times (VIC)
and local men The Devil Rides Out
With Fu Manchu's Southern Californian roots spanning back to 1985, when they were a hardcore band called Virulence, through to countless line up changes over their 27 year history, it's safe to say they predate and have outlived every one of their fellow stoner rock allies.
Although Kyuss obtained greater commercial success, Fu Manchu are widely regarded as the visionary forefathers of the stoner rock scene that we know today. They've become one of the most influential and highly respected bands to have come out of the '90s Southern Californian desert rock scene, far outweighing that of their contemporaries, Queens of the Stone Age.
Widely known and hugely respected for their Mammoth Records era albums 'In Search Of', 'The Action Is Go', 'King of the Road', and 'California Crossing', Fu Manchu have recorded an astounding 10 studio albums, not to mention countless EPs and live releases.
With tours in 2011 honoring their 1996 classic 'In Search Of' and tours in 2012 honoring their 1997 classic 'The Action is Go', it's safe to say Fu Manchu are in fine form and delivering just what the kids need - a heavy dose of high octane fuzz.
Special guests are San Francisco's heaviest sludge metal duo Black Cobra (Southern Lord records), who headlined their own Australian tour in 2009, as well as Matt Sonic and the High Times and The Devil Rides Out.
Presale tickets are $45 + bf from http://lifeisnoise.com/, heatseeker, oztix and the usuals.
