The Ataris Biography
The Ataris is a rock band that has released five studio albums. Their most recent E.P. was released on November 25, 2010 on the Gainesville, Florida based label, Paper + Plastick. It contained two new tracks entitled "All Souls' Day" and "The Graveyard of The Atlantic." The band has said they are going to release a new album titled The Graveyard of the Atlantic; however, the release date and status of the album is unknown, as it has been delayed since 2009.
Formed in 1995, the band originally consisted of singer-songwriter/guitarist Kris Roe and guitarist Jasin Thomason. Using a four-track, Roe wrote and recorded demos in his bedroom, using a drum machine while he searched for a full-time drummer. The band's first big break came in 1996 when Roe attended a show at the club Bogart's in Cincinnati, where Jasin passed one of the band's demo tapes to a roadie from the band. The roadie gave the tape to Joe Escalante, bassist from the band The Vandals who owned their own label, Kung Fu Records. A few weeks later, Roe received a call from Kung Fu Records, who told him they were interested in putting out their record, even though he was really only searching for a drummer.
The Ataris signed to Kung Fu and struggled to find and keep band members. From there, the band gradually increased in popularity in the underground rock scene, a lot due to their consistent touring and personal, DIY approach. They then found more success with their 1998 EP Look Forward to Failure, released on San Francisco punk label Fat Wreck Chords. However, it wasn't until the release of Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits in the year 1999 that they started to gain widespread acclaim.
The band's third full length studio album, End is Forever, was released in 2001. In 2002, the band's lineup changed again, and they chose to sign with Columbia Records. Later that year, they began recording their fourth full-length album and major label debut, So Long, Astoria, released in 2003. The album was widely credited for introducing The Ataris to a larger mainstream audience and generating several successful singles, including "In This Diary" and "The Saddest Song." This album also included their hit cover song, originally recorded by Don Henley "The Boys of Summer." The single is their highest charting single to date, reaching No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In November 2006, The Ataris started their own imprint, Isola Recordings, through Sanctuary Records and RED Distribution, and simultaneously announced the official release date of their fifth album Welcome the Night as February 20, 2007. Welcome the Night debuted at No. 85 on the Billboard charts with over 12,000 copies sold.
In December 2008, the band recorded a batch of new songs at Flying Blanket Studios in Arizona. They then toured through South America, South Africa, an extensive U.S. tour and scattered dates on the Warped Tour in summer 2009. The band was gearing up for the next album, The Graveyard of the Atlantic, which has still not been released.
