October 15, 2001 – Alien Ant Farm will join 311 for eight shows this month (see dates below), in the midst of their own in-progress tour. On Halloween, AAF will perform their #1 modern rock single "Smooth Criminal" on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (rescheduled from September 17, due to the recent world events).

In other news, Alien Ant Farm -- Dryden Mitchell (vocals), Terry Corso (guitar), Tye Zamora (bass) and Mike Cosgrove (drums) -- recently took time out to shoot a video for their upcoming single "Movies" with director Marc Klasfeld, who also lensed the group's MTV TRL Top 5 "Smooth Criminal" video. Filmed October 6 and 7 in Los Angeles, the clip shows the band in spoofs of various pop culture films. Due to overwhelming demand from radio stations nationwide, the band will re-release "Movies" -- which was the first radio track off ANThology -- early next month as the next single from their platinum-certified debut.

ANThology continues to have a strong presence on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, currently at #28 after 30 weeks. At the same time, "Smooth Criminal" remains in the Top 5 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and Top 20 on the Mainstream Rock chart.
