Fu Manchu have announced their upcoming U.S. touring plans. The "California Crossing the U.S." tour in support of their new album, California Crossing, will begin in Los Angeles on January 29th and wind up back on the West Coast in mid March. "We're excited to get back out and start playing all the new tunes for our fans," lead singer/guitarist Scott Hill commented. "We're also gonna be playing some songs we haven't done in a while, so it's going to be a great show."

The day before the tour begins Fu Manchu can be heard around the nation on the popular nationally syndicated radio show Rockline. The band will perform a couple of songs live and take questions from their fans around the country on January 28th live from their studios in Los Angeles. The album's first single "Squash That Fly," was one of the most added tracks at rock radio last week.

Fu Manchu completed filming a video for "Squash That Fly" in Los Angeles last month. The video was directed by Richard Reines whose work includes videos for New Found Glory and the Bloodhound Gang.
