The Ataris will set out on a tour of Europe from the end of January to the end of Feburary. Check the Tour Dates for all the information. There is lots of hype as we go into the last couple months until the release of the new album "So Long, Astoria." Earlier this month, The Ataris shot a new music video for the song 'In This Diary' which is off the new album. Look for that on perhaps MTV2 in the near future. Now get ready for the release of "So Long, Astoria" from Columbia Records on March 4th, 2003 in record stores everywhere!


Attention everyone: since Tripod wouldn't let me access the site builder to update my site, i wasnt able to update my site for many months. since my last update, The Ataris have finished recording their new album for Columbia Records, and they've toured the United States, a small part of Canada, and Australia. Look for more frequent updates now. Thanks for your cooperation.

The Ataris along with The Vandals and Pennywise are playing the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, CA on May 17th, 2002. There will be an internet presale from April 12-19. Also, the Ataris were part of Columbia Record's SXSW music festival in March. Among the songs they played, there were two new songs (you can find them in 'Multimedia' on this site) from their upcoming album on Columbia due out in September/October this year. Right now The Ataris have started in the studio beginning to work on the album, but will be taking it slow for now. Other than that, get ready for the ABH re-release next month!

-Straight from the Ataris... -
We will be doing a short headlining tour of the u.s. and canada as soon as the record is completed. Hopefully by Mid-June at the latest. We will be playing intimate sized clubs in mostly all major cities. so no need to e-mail asking where we will be playing cause' we will be playing somewhere near you no matter where you live. Probably after that shortly we will be doing shows in Europe/Australia/N.Z./Japan I would asssume at least by the year's end. If all goes well our new record will be out somwhere around sept./early oct. but that is a very rough guesstimate at this point. Around that time we will obviously be hitting the u.s. and canada again for a much longer and more detalied tour.

keep your ears opened as things always do change.

-take care, kris, johnny, mike and chris


The release of 'Anywhere But Here 2' is going to be May 28, 2002. The original February release date was postponed due to complications involving the new cover and liner notes.
