AFI's Jade Puget checks into 'Hotel'

Somewhere between performing with Blaqk Audio and preparing material for a new AFI album, guitarist Jade Puget managed to find the time to lend his remixing talents to German rockers (and part-time international hair models) Tokio Hotel. The musical fruits of Puget's labor will appear on Scream America, a limited-edition, two-song Tokio Hotel single set for a U.S. release on December 11.

We're just kidding about the hair model stuff... But, seriously, have you even seen singer Bill Kaulitz's coif? DANG!

The Locust stung by thieves in St. Louis

Jason Pettigrew on 11/29/07 @ 4:41 PM

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, synth-grind specialists the Locust had their van broken into in St. Louis while parked in a grocery store lot. No gear was taken, but plenty of personal effects (computers, cash, passports) were lifted. The band's insurance policy does not cover the items, so Three One G has set up a way to donate to the band if you are interested. Fans wanting to help the band get a wing up should click here. You might want to mail them a dictionary while you're at it. Did ja see the spelling on that site? Sheesh.....
