next year, founding members Scott Hill (vocals, guitars)andBradDavis (bass, vocals) added lead guitarist Bob Balch andformer Kyuss drummer
Brant Bjork to their lineup, and theyreleasedtheirsecond album for Mammoth, The Action Is Go. During this time thegroup gained a reputation
as a powerful liveact,supportinglike-minded groups like the Melvins, Kyuss, White Zombie, Monster Magnet, andClutch in the States,
andCorrosionofConformity, the Hellacopters, and Marilyn Manson in Europe. 1998 saw the release of Return to Earth,which
collectedtheirearlysingles, and the Eatin' Dust EP, which was released by Frank Kozik's Man's Ruin label. Fu Manchu released their fifthfull-
lengthalbum, King of the Road, in early 2000, following it up with a lengthy tour of the United States. They took time off toworkonnewmaterial,
emerging in the spring of 2001 with California Crossing. As their live show neared perfection, theytookanopportunity to showcasetheir stoner
rock stage skill with 2003's Go for It...Live! The following year they releasedtwonewstudio discs, Start the Machine and(Godzilla's) Eatin' Dust.
And in 2007 the band returned with an angrier buttypicallyheavyalbum titled We Must Obey, a sarcastic rebuttaldirected toward anyone with the
gall to try and push themaround. « hide |
