The Ataris
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Ataris are an American pop-punk group formed in 1994.
After their formation in late 1994, The Ataris signed, on January 15, 1996, to Kung Fu Records. In autumn of the same year, Anywhere But Here, their first LP was recorded.
On 2002-06-24, after their 5th album End Is Forever, The Ataris quit Kung Fu Records and signed with Columbia Records. Later in that year, they recorded their 6th album, So Long, Astoria, released on March 4, 2003. This album generated many successful singles, including In This Diary and their cover of Don Henley's The Boys Of Summer.
The Ataris will supposedly be releasing a new album called "Welcome the Night" in summer 2005.
