Footage reveals fans stealing gear after Fu Manchu's Bowery Ballroom show in NYC [1]

['Lux Sparks-Pescovitz']

Date: 2025-09-16

Last Saturday at the Bowery Ballroom in NY, stoner rock legends Fu Manchu took to the stage to deliver a crushing set of distorted, loud, punches-you-in-your face guitar riffs and beat down drums to an ecstatic crowd. The set went off without a hitch, lasting a good hour and a half.

However, after the show, a couple of pedalboard admirers took it too far, and decided to steal a pedal right off the stage. Unbeknownst to them, however, the moment was being filmed. A couple of days later after reviewing the footage, the moment was posted on Instagram by stoner rock account "VVedian" asking the public if anyone knows the buzzkills-at-large present in the video.
