| He was born on November 20, 1975 in Rochester, New York. Shortly after, he moved to Ukiah, California. Davey attended Catholic School in Ukiah until eighth grade. During high school, his friends Markus Stopholese and Vic Chalker wanted to start a band. Unfortunately, they had several problems. The first problem was that they didn't have a drummer. Mark suggested his friend Adam Carson be in the band. The second problem was that they didn't know how to play any instruments, but they knew that Davey had a good voice and Adam had a drumset. So Mark learned guitar and Vic learned bass (he was later replaced by future Tiger Army bassist Geoff Kresge). Davey cites lead singers such as Freddie Mercury (of Queen), Robert Smith (of The Cure), Glenn Danzig (of The Misfits), Ian Mckaye (of Minor Threat and Fugazi) and David Bowie as his influences. Shortly after high school, the band broke up and Davey moved to Berkeley, California. He then went to UC Berkeley. He began constantly writing lyrics to the songs that would appear on albums "Answer That and Stay Fashionable" and "Very Proud of Ya". In a memorable band reunion, put together by one of their classmates, the band played at the Phoenix theatre for several hundreds of fans. They decided to reunite and record an album. In 1995, "Answer That and Stay Fashionable" was released on Wingnut Records ( re-released in 1997 on Nitro Records). Geoff left during a tour for "Very Proud Of Ya" and was replaced by Hunter Burgan. Little did they know, Hunter would eventually become the permanent replacement for Geoff. Hunter was still in The Force until he permanently joined AFI during the "A Fire Inside" EP. However, before that, AFI released their third full length release, "Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes", in which Davey started getting very serious about his lyrics. He started singing about religion, humanity and other more serious issues. They then released the "A Fire Inside" EP, which was the first EP they ever relased. It featured covers of "The Hanging Garden", in which Davey got to do his best Robert Smith impersonation, and "Demonomania" by the Misfits. After, Mark was asked to leave the band. His replacement was Jade Puget, the band's old friend from high school who said he would join after he graduated college. AFI then released their first full length release with Hunter and Jade, "Black Sails In The Sunset". In fall of that year, they released the "All Hallows" EP. In 2000, they released the minorly successful "The Art Of Drowning". AFI then toured for a few years releasing a few EPs along the way.
He's completely straight edge and is also a vegan although he doesnt know if he is a true vegan because he eats refined sugar and honey.

I have decided to write this page in dedication to The Davey. Despite the fact that he has said nothing in return to my one posting. (Anything would be okay. Really.) I still love A.F.I. ,though, so I will write a great page and I will ask some questions of the band, and if there are any answers, please e-mail me at timthecat@pacbell.net. | |
P.S. I love you all! | |
