Carolina punk band AFI are a testament to patience as, after forming in 1991, they didn’t receive their first major commercial break until 12 years into their career but since then they have continued to flourish.
The band formed in high school and picked the name AFI as an acronym for everything from ‘Asking for it’ to ‘Anthems for Insubordinates’. The band had something of a jumbled existence at this point as none of the members really knew how to play their instruments. The band briefly disbanded as members went off to various colleges however the positive reaction they got from a reunion show was enough to spur them into reforming.
The band slowly began building its following through releasing albums, with the mind-set of doing music for the rest of their lives, regardless of how much commercial success they encountered. During the late 90s the band began toying with its sound, adding darker and more romantic flavors. It paid off as 2000’s ‘The Art of Drowning’ became the first glimpse of the success the band were set to achieve, going on to sell over 100,000 copies, unheard of for an underground record.
With labels now jumping at the chance to be involved with the band, they signed to Dreamworks and released their first major label album ‘Sing for Sorrow’ scoring a top ten position in the album charts and receiving mass critical acclaim. Since then the band have continued to chart with every album and play shows to their dedicated fans round the world.
Read morePredictable is a word that does not quite factor into AFIs vocabulary. They are a group that have been evolving sense their formation in 1991; dancing across the musical spectrum from minute long hardcore punk songs to breezy disco tunes. Though some purists (particularly those indebted to the bare bone nature of the hardcore punk scene) may express some discrepancies with the groups adoption of emo and glam sensibilities, AFI have always managed to maintain their distinctive gloom ridden sound and have consistently approached their work and live performance with a sense of sincerity. They show great respect to their audience, but by no means indulge them in feeding them formulaic gripe. Their lack of conforming to expectations and their audacity in challenging their audience by shifting their sound and appearance is what makes their music and performance so damn fascinating. Whether AFI is playing in a hip club downtown or a generic suburban Amphitheater (like the one I saw them at when opening for Greenday) it is impossible to ignore them. Singer Davey Havoc demands the audience attention leaping from one side of the stage to the next, climbing on amps and drumsets or belting out "Miss Murder" on his knees. Depending on the song it is even possible to spot them dancing under a disco ball illuminating thousands of strands of lights onto the stage. It is difficult to know what to expect when entering an AFI show other than an amazing time.
Their setlist makes great use of their catalogue comprising of newly released material, hit songs like "Girl's Not Grey" and "Silver and Cold" and more obscure selections from their West Coast punk days. Their live performance offers something for old and new fans providing a holistic view of where the band has been and where it is right now. Each performance is fresh and non-contrived and can even enamor the casual listener. Though the description intense only scratches the surface of their confrontational stage presence, off stage they are completely approachable people generously spending time with their fans signing autographs, taking pictures and engaging in conversation.
I want to start by praising the opening act - Nostalghia had a mood unlike any live show I've seen, and I was thoroughly blown away. Ciscandra's voice and stage presence were simply haunting. When AFI took the stage, their fifteen-plus years of experience performing was immediately apparent. This is a band that is passionate about their music and their fans, and they've come to put on an amazing show. I also have to praise them for giving it 110% - it'd be easy to lose confidence going from selling out stadiums to filling local venues, but they maintain an amazing attitude and throw themselves into the show just as much as they always have.
Afi is from California not Carolina lol. Anyway, Davey Havok is my god. Best poet in the world. He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen.They have changed every album & I keep on loving it all. They have so much on their plate with DreamCar, Blaqk Audio, & another band I always forget because its all constanant letters. Lol. Busy boys. Gotta love them.

One of the best shows ever. The venue, Ace of Spades is amazing. Great sound system and air flow. AFI is one of the best concert bands around and you should never miss an opportunity to see them. Some of the old classic songs weren't played which was a little disappointing but the energy from the band and crowd was awesome.
AFI did a great job of bringing a lot of energy to the show. They played a good mix with songs from at least 6 albums giving new and old fans a show they would enjoy. Havok (lead singer) got close to the fans when he crowd surfed and had the fans hold him up while he sang.
It was such a great show! Nothing but high energy from start to finish, they zoomed through that playlist. I kinda wish they had more songs to play from the setlist, but they had a great mix of songs from all the albums. I would definitely see them again.
The bands were Amazing!! Such a good mix of artists and music! You really can't go wrong when your at Red Rocks Amphitheater! Love my state and these bands!!
Always be prepared for any kind of weather when going to this venue as well!
This band never disappoints! Excellent musicianship, insane stage presence and showmanship! I highly recommend seeing them live as I have always enjoyed them even more in person. They are true rockstars!!
They played an amazing show, and they definitely gave it everything they had. I had the time of my life and loved every minute of it. 10/10, worth every penny and every hour I drove to see them.
Just as amazing as I thought they would be. Super energetic, they sounded just like their albums. My only complaint is that their set was short because they were *technically* an opener.
