   Green Day's official site just announced that Green Day's 2010 US tour will kick off August 3 at Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, New Jersey. AFI will be opening up for this tour. A full list of dates and cities, as well as ticket information will be announced soon. Keep your eyes on the Green Day site for more details: http://www.greenday.com/site/tour.php
I know they aren't very well known (side project of AFI), but they're amazing. I'm whoring them whether they like it or not. LISTEN! And while you're at it, listen to Cities of Night too. youtube
 AFI has released an official video preview of their new music video for "Beautiful Thieves". "Beautiful Thieves" is the second single from the band's latest album "Crash Love". The music video features bassist Hunter Burgan, drummer Adam Carson, guitarist Jade Puget, and vocalist Davey Havok in suits. Gone are the days of purple devil locks and bright pink hair. The full video will be released soon. In the meantime if you want to get your fill of AFI, you can catch the band on tour. Upcoming dates include Vancouver, Santa Cruz, Tokyo, Brisbane, London, Glasgow, and more. Full event details can be found here.
 Davey Havok, founder of Zu Boutique and front man for Blaqkaudio and East Bay rock band AFI, is a name well recognized in the rock community for his solid stage presence and persona. As with his music, Havok is constantly trying to progress and shatter the mold, which makes him a perfect fit for our newest Studio Project collaboration shoe. The release will encompass all the zest and glamour of Havok's very own Zu Boutiqe, while still holding onto the seal of Macbeth. The project is sure to redefine our classic Eliot's, but forward thinking is what Havok's always been about. Vegan has never looked so good. If you have not picked up your Macbeth X Zu Boutique by Davey Havok Studio Project yet, might want to grab them now as they are going quick..... Head here to get your pair now [for only $59.99] !!    1
  Me and Davey  My sister ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} beuk and Davey. I took too long to take the picture so her face froze funny.I was going to go to a signing for AFI at a local record store, but I didn't want to buy the album lol, so I decided to go to a coffee shop instead. We saw Davey and some guy (I hope he wasn't a band member because I totally didn't pay attention to him lol) at the front of the line at the coffee shop. I kinda sidled up to him, said I liked the album, and got a picture. I'm from Idaho and there aren't many celeb sightings, so I didn't keep my cool at all. Also, he's really tiny in person (about 5'5" and he was wearing heeled boots). Source: me, my sister's cell phone
I'm not sure if this is considered post-worthy or not, so I'll leave that up to the mods to decide. Basically I met AFI last night, but we weren't allowed to take pictures, so no ONTD sign. I was able to get a shaky video of Hunter acknowledging ONTD's exsistence. He didn't quite know what I was talking about when I said "ONTD" but he got it when I said "Oh No They Didn't".
My voice sounds weird...I'm really shy and quiet and was trying hard to not be, and ended up talking obnoxiously.
 So in my earlier post I failed to mention the Tegan and Sara article in my Alternative Press. Here are some high lights with the full scan behind the cut ! : * "Hell" is one of three songs co-written with AFI bassist Hunter Burgan. (Here's their recent performance of that song on Conan O'Brien) * "Sainthood" draws its title from the Leonard Cohen song "Came So Far For Beauty" * "Sainthood" was produced by Death Cab For Cutie's Chris Walla (who produced "The Con") * AltPress gives the album 4.5 out of 5 stars * Tegan is excited to play "Northshore" live.

"I read all the 'Twilight' books while we were recording Sainthood, and [producer/ Death Cab for Cutie guitarist] Chris [Walla] and I were talking about it a lot, because after we finished our record, he was going to record with Death Cab to do their song for the 'New Moon' soundtrack," Tegan Quinn told MTV News last week. "So me and him would geek out with each other and talk about it, and he'd actually be doing a job — he'd be producing our record — and I'd be on the couch [paging through], and he'd be like, 'You're on the third book already?' We nerded out with one another." AFI/Blaqk Audio : Yo Gabba Gabba! + Album News + The Drummer Speaks
