Hardcore musical chameleon band AFI is using the month of November to celebrate their 30 year anniversary. The post-hardcore group took to Twitter and Instagram to share their excitement as they will be revisiting 3 albums at a time and sharing features of stories and memories submitted by the band and fans alike.
The band’s first memory was documented by drummer Adam Carson regarding their ’93 show at the Phoenix Theater:
“…..““There are many important dates in our 30 year history but none more than December 29, 1993. What was meant to be a one-off ‘reunion’ show at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, CA (we had broken up earlier that Fall) became the catalyst to reform the band, this time without the distraction of college. That night we pledged to make the band our life, a journey @DaveyHavok and I (with @JadePuget and @HunterBurgan – it took another few years to get the lineup right) are still on. Proud to report I still care as deeply as I did that night. Today, 30 years since our first rehearsal, 28 years on from that night, I still feel the passion to make music in AFI, I still want to make it my life and somehow, I still get nervous before I go onstage.” –
