Album Notes:

The Action is Go is the fourth studio album from California rock group Fu Manchu. It features new drummer Brant Bjork (Kyuss) and new lead guitarist Bob Balch, replacing Eddie Glass and Ruben Romano who left to form Nebula. The producer was Jay Noel Yuenger, of White Zombie, giving a crisper sheen without compromising the trademark bruising riffs. He also plays keyboards on several tracks.

Fu Manchu is a Southern Californian stoner rock band, who released their debut single “Kept Between Trees” in 1990. They have been featured on compilations put together by Tony Hawk and ESPN’s X Games, and invited to perform on the US television program Monster Garage. They are featured in the video game The BIGS 2.

Personnel:

Scott Hill: vocals, guitar

Brant Bjork: drums
