formed a band called AFI

While still in high school in Ukiah, California , lead vocalist Davey Havok formed a band called AFI in November 1991 with Mark Stopholese and Vic Chalker. At the time, the band did not know how to play any instruments. Stopholese suggested that his friend, drummer Adam Carson , join the band. Stopholese learned guitar and Chalker learned bass , but Chalker was soon replaced by Geoff Kresge . By the end of October 1992, the band had played their first three shows, generally as an opener for a few other punk bands, including Influence 13, which featured future AFI guitarist Jade Puget and frequent collaborator Nick 13 . AFI recorded their first EP, Dork (1993), with the now defunct band Loose Change, which also featured Puget.
