Punk As F*ck

When Hasbeens Attack, Take 1. Seriously though, this is no joke.

Via The Daily News: STUDIO CITY - Anthony Lovato, the frontman for the former punk band Mest, was arrested today on suspicion of stabbing a 25-year-old man to death outside an apartment complex.

Los Angeles police from the North Hollywood station were called to the 10900 block of Bluffside Drive at 8:05 a.m. and found a man lying in the parking lot with stab wounds in his chest, said LAPD Officer Mike Lopez. The man, whose name was being withheld pending notification of relatives, was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died, Lopez said. Lovato, 26, was later arrested and was cooperative, Lopez said.

"It's believed the victim and Lovato were involved in a verbal dispute, possibly over a girlfriend," Lopez said. "That's when the suspect whipped out a knife." Lovato is being held on $1 million bail. Mest, a four-member Illinois based band, that formed in the mid-1990s, released several albums on Madonna's Maverick label and performed on the Warped Tour, a touring music and extreme sports festival, in 2003. They broke up in 2006 with Lovato and other members starting up a new band, according to their Myspace.com site.

I wonder what Madonna makes of all of this...
