==HistoryBiografia==

Fu Manchu originally formed in [[1987]] as a [[hardcore punk]] band called Virulence. Their primary influences were the bands [[Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]] and [[Bl'ast]]. The line up was vocalist Ken Pucci, guitarist Scott Hill, bassist Greg McCaughey, and drummer Ruben Romano. In [[1989]] they released their debut [[long player|LP]] ''If This Isn't a Dream...'' on [[Alchemy Records (US)|Alchemy Records]]. In [[1990]], Pucci left the band and was replaced by vocalist Glen Chivens and they changed their name to Fu Manchu. Soon after they released the "Kept Between Trees" [[single (music)|7 inch single]] on [[Slap A Ham Records]]. On this record, Fu Manchu still exhibited much of the hardcore sound established by Virulence. However, the band soon began to drift away from hardcore and towards a more [[1970s]] [[hard rock]] style. McCaughey was not pleased with this, as he regarded this move to be following a trend; the [[Sub Pop]] record label was at the peak of its underground success at this time, and many of their bands were known for having a similar 70s rock sound. McCaughey left the band and was replaced by Mark Abshire. Chivens also left the band around this time for unknown reasons. Rather than bring in a new vocalist, Scott Hill added lead vocalist to his guitar duties. To compensate, [[Scott Votaw]] was recruited as lead guitarist. In [[1992]], Fu Manchu released three 7 inch singles: "Senioritis," "Pick Up Summer," and "Don't Bother Knockin' (If This Vans Rockin')." In [[1993]], Votaw left the band and was replaced by former [[Olivelawn (band)|Olivelawn]] drummer Eddie Glass.

In the wake of [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]’s success in the early [[1990s]], Fu Manchu was approached by a major record label and given funds to record a [[Demo (music)|demo]] so that the label could determine if a proper Fu Manchu album was worth pursuing. According to members of Fu Manchu, they recorded the demo with no intention of signing to the label. Instead, their plan was to go into the sessions with the mindset of recording a proper album rather than a demo, which they would release independently. Sure enough, this is precisely what happened; Fu Manchu did not sign with the major label, but the recording sessions resulted in Fu Manchu’s first album, ''No One Rides For Free'' ([[1994]]), which was released by [[Bong Load Records]], an independent label.

==Trivia==

Fu Manchu sometimes pay homage to [[Bl'ast]] via song and record titles. The song "Laserbl'ast!" from ''The Action is Go'' is an ode to Bl'ast (as well as to the 1970s [[B movie]] ''[[Laser Blast]]'',) while the titles "Something Beyond" and ''Start the Machine'' are both named after Bl'ast songs. Note that while Fu Manchu has a song entitled "Something Beyond," it isn't a cover of the Bl'ast song.
