Classic Band of the Day...

August 30 at the Masquerade in Atlanta: 

F U   M A N C H U


Venom, an opportunity to see one of the best live bands you've never seen...

[Venom]

[Protag]

Zeke is right! I only own one album by Fu Manchu mostly because I didn't like them that much but a couple of years ago I saw them live & they are a great band in that medium.

[Mr. Rogers]

Time to open your mind and expand your horizons Venom.  Fu Manchu is a great live show and should be seen by all.... especially the naysayers.  Of course, it's a matter of taste... just like some like Jorn and others do not.  Give them a chance.  See you there my friend.  Bottom line... a great show is a great show.

[zekeyou]

We'll see you tonight, V.  First Pepsi is on me, second on Mr. Rogers.

[Venom]

Not a chance...my son has his first tennis tournament at school late this afternoon.  not going to miss it.

Another incredible set by the masters.  Seriously, Overkill and Fu Manchu have got to be 2 of the best live bands going.

This was time #5 for me seeing them going back to 1997, and they seriously have just been getting better and better.

Another thing I dig is how the band changes sets nightly and takes requests from the audience-- always awesome.

Pat and Ben;

Bring some Fu Manchu with you guys to ProgPower.  You guys have opened me up to Orphaned Land, Presto Ballet, and the almighty Mustasch. 

[zekeyou]

Yeah, I'll make you a 1-2 disc comp, M_K.

Thank you kindly! 

[zekeyou]

Thank you kindly! 

Since Fu Manchu is almost what I've been exclusively listening to this week, I've compiled two (2) sixty-minute discs spanning the bulk of their Venom-crushing, 10-studio-album-having nineteen year career.

In a word?  Godly.

[Dr. Heathen Scum]

For a second I read Presto Ballet as Spandau Ballet and threw up a little in my mouth. I know this much is true

I have a Presto Ballet album & would have to think that at least if you listened to Spandau Ballet you might get laid.

If I listened to Spandau Ballet the kind of laying I would be getting doesn't interest me

So far, I'm loving the attitude
