The latest music video from Bay Area alternative rock artists AFI has been released. Beautiful Thieves features the band performing in a house owned by "a crazy woman with a bunch of horses," as guitarist Jade exclusively told us. Check out the video and then check out our convo with band right here.

In 1996 AFI rolled through Santa Cruz, California and played a $6 show for 100 people at the Vets hall. It was my first punk show and cost me six bucks. Fourteen years later I told Jade and Hunter that story as we sat in their bus five blocks down the road from the venue they played way back when. This time through Santa Cruz they have two platinum albums under their belt and another gold doesn't look far off.

 We caught up with AFI in Santa Cruz, Calif., and talked to them about their new album (Crash Love), their new music video (Beautiful Thieves), Hunter's shoes and the duality of A Fire Inside. Check it out.

Davey Havok sporting his new look and the rest of the members of AFI can be seen in the band's new video for Medicate. It's shot entirely in black and white. Well, except for a gold tint flashing threw the instruments. Cool effect.

The East Bay's AFI tonight played a club show at The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood. Just a few of the comments from Nic Adler and his Roxy Staff: "Davey Havok just crowd surfed...standing up. Such a rockstar!"

Check out the photos on Twitter using the tag #AFIroxy. There's some sick ones from the lucky few who made it inside tonight.
