AFI with Choir Boy
About This Event
AFI, the American rock band formed in Ukiah in 1991 and now comprised of lead vocalist Davey Havok, drummer Adam Carson, bassist Hunter Burgan and guitarist Jade Puget, brings its long arc from hardcore punk through gothic-tinged alternative rock to the Starland Ballroom. The bill pairs AFI with Choir Boy, a Salt Lake City synth-pop quartet led by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Adam Klopp, offering an electronic counterpoint to AFI’s guitar-focused material.
About the Artists
AFI
AFI is a California rock band that began in 1991 in Ukiah, with longtime core members Davey Havok and Adam Carson joined by Hunter Burgan and Jade Puget since the late 1990s. Their catalog traces a steady shift from hardcore and horror-leaning punk into post-hardcore, emo, and darker alternative rock.
Choir Boy
Choir Boy is a rock/pop group known for moody, synth-leaning arrangements and a frontperson-led delivery that borrows from post-punk as much as classic pop. In the New York City area, they have appeared on bills at Starland Ballroom, including the event “AFI with Choir Boy,” pairing them with AFI’s long-running alternative rock lineage.
