Updates from AFI's Davey Havok and Hunter

AFI vocalist Davey Havok posted an update as the band continues to work on their upcoming full length follow up to Sing the Sorrow:

I've been listeing to Modern Lif is War a bit in the gym lately. My ocsxe boyfirends turned me onto them. Now, I do believe I'd like to see them live as I'd imagine them to be very engergetic and because, well, we're all dead Ramones.[...] In other similar matters - within the past couple of days I've run into both Andrew from Strife and Scott from EarthCrisis. I guess Frank Vicario should be next. Perhaps it's a sign? Perhaps we should all pull out the magnums and the ashen grey hoodies? Perhaps.

I'm in the studio right now listening to Adam rock it.

Hunter also posted a quick status update, saying:

Just so you know, we're still in the studio working on our record (yes, the SAME record) and each day it gets better and better and that much closer to being done. since it's not quite done yet, we don't have a release date...and since we don't have a release date, i can't tell you when we'll be coming to your town. all i can tell you is to stay posted and we'll let you know what's up.

The band has about three weeks of studio time remaining and hopes to release the album as early as February 2006.

The group recently contributed an unreleased track, titled "Rabbits Are Roadkill On Route 37," to the inaugural release from MySpace Records. The track appears on a compilation, titled Myspace Records, Volume 1 along with tracks from Weezer, Against Me! and Hollywood Undead.

The band recently announced that they will be joing the the Australia/New Zealand-based Big Day Out tour. The band will perform six dates along with tourmates including Iggy and the Stooges, Franz Ferdinand, Kings of Leon, The Mars Volta, Sleater-Kinney, the Living End, Youth Group.
