FEMME ROCKAGE
Band Workshop and performance for girls only, ages 13-18
June 21 - July 1
Monday - Thursday, 10am - 2pm

and then, following on the heels of last summer’s premier blockbuster spectacular:

SHORT AND SLY VIDEO POD-SHOTS
Make your own short video, edit and upload it to You Tube:
for ages 12-18
July 26 - August 7
Monday - Friday, 10am - 2pm
This class is presented with Petaluma Community Access, and classes will be held at both locations (the theater and PCA).

Femme Rockage will be a free program, but donations are heartily encouraged if you can swing it.
THE SHORT AND SLY POD-SHOTS will cost $35. This will pay for a DVD of the final products, and a year-long membership to PCA.

PETALUMA, CA (Oct. 31, 2009) – AFI will play the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, CA on Friday, January 15, 2010. The show will be a homecoming for AFI, a band formed in Ukiah that played many of their early shows the Phoenix.

AFI / CRASH LOVE
Crash Love, AFI’s eighth full length studio album, due out September 29 on DGC/Interscope, is indeed informed not only by the ever-evolving chemistry between the musicians in the band but also by the members’ personal lives and perhaps most of all by the always intense relationship between AFI and its fans.

The latter has intensified considerably over the most recent of AFI’s 18 years as a band, with 2006’s decemberunderground entering the chart at #1 with first week sales of nearly 200,000 and subsequent sold out shows at the Long Beach Arena and Bill Graham Civic as well as appearances on Saturday Night Live and at Live Earth–not to mention 2003’s Sing The Sorrow going platinum. Not bad for four kids from Ukiah, California who formed a rudimentary punk band in 1991 with aspirations of playing in the SF Bay Area and possibly releasing a few singles and an LP or two.

HISTORY AT THE PHOENIX
AFI last played the Phoenix as part of a two night sold-out engagement in June 2002. The band has played the venue regularly since their inception. The song “Days of the Phoenix”, off their fifth studio album The Art of Drowning, is a reference to the Phoenix Theater.

TICKETS & DETAILS
The Phoenix Theater presents AFI + guests on Friday, January 15, 2010. Doors at 7PM, show at 8PM. Tickets available at online at phoenix.inticketing.com, the Last Record Store (Santa Rosa, CA), and Back Door Disc (Cotati, CA). All ages welcome. Tickets are $24 advance / $26 door.
