THE ATARIS ANNOUNCE SO LONG, ASTORIA REUNION TOUR
December 17, 2012 Los Angeles, CA For the first time in a decade, the classic lineup of The Ataris will reconvene to perform their million-selling album, So Long, Astoria, in its entirety from start to finish. For one tour only, Kristopher Roe, Mike Davenport, Chris Knapp and John Collura will share the stage to celebrate their beloved album, performing fan-favorite hits like So Long, Astoria, The Saddest Song and their iconic version of Don Henleys Boys of Summer. Support will include: Authority Zero, Drag The River, Versus The World and Gasoline Heart. Tickets for the upcoming tour will go on sale to the public on December 20th.
Formed in 1996, The Ataris went on to sell hundreds of thousands of albums on small independent label Kung Fu Records before signing to Columbia Records in 2001. In 2003, the band released their career-defining album, So Long, Astoria, which sold over a million copies and spawned the hits, In this Diary, The Saddest Song and Boys of Summer.
After headlining multiple Warped Tours and selling out major tours of their own, the classic line-up of The Ataris disbanded in 2004, leaving behind a legacy of influence and rock-radio anthems that still live on today.
A decade later, that lineup will reunite for one tour to celebrate So Long, Astoria, an album that helped redefine punk rock in the early 2000s with vivid confessionals and melodic heartfelt sing-alongs.
Im looking forward to going out and bringing these songs to a crowd and really giving it our all, and hopefully bringing some of these fun memories back to our fans, singer/guitarist Kristopher Roe says. I really feel like the most important thing is to be reconnected with three of my old best friends. Im excited to go out and make music with them again.
Its a lot of nostalgia to come back and do this tour, guitarist John Collura adds. Its a celebration of what the four of us accomplished as a band.
This tour, for me, means more of redemption, concludes bassist Mike Davenport. Us four reunited again, performing what I think is one of our best albums.
I havent seen these guys in forever, drummer Chris Knapp says. Its going to be crazy.
