The Ataris
The Ataris have produced several full-length recordings of relatively cookie-cutter pop-punk. Taking more influence from mainstream alternative acts than the punk artists they tour with, the Ataris were discovered by Vandals founder Joe Escalante in early 1997, after songwriter Kris Roe met him at a Vandals concert. Impressed by his demo tape, Escalante asked Roe to put together a full band and record for his label, Kung-Fu Records. Vocalist/guitarist Roe picked up and moved to California in search of bandmates, and eventually added guitarist Marco Peña, bassist Mike Davenport, and former Lagwagon drummer Derrick Plourde. Plourde was later replaced by new drummer Chris Knapp.
Easy Fruit
“Put some cans on your head and one in your hand: the jean jacket junta has its soundtrack. Easy Fruit’s Easy Fruit EP has the effect of good propaganda or cheap beer. Its delirious energy whips you into a haze, and you somehow find yourself at ease. You stop asking questions and just enjoy the indoctrination…”

People say this band talks to much and their guitar man tends to black out on stage. Just released our 2nd album “Rock and Roll Alligator” on June 18th. We’ve been known to melt faces & eat hot dogs
