WORDUP

"Usually I would pass even reading the music blogs that are all Independent Music!!! But this one was actually good because it did not seem like you had to be a scenester knowing the secret handshake to be allowed to read it. They have a good collection of artists from all over the map which is always what I like to see and they have this funny ad running on there site to bring (+44) to Singapore."

The Ataris album update

The Ataris have posted a blog update regarding their ongoing recording process. Currently there are 10-15 songs in the works but we can look forward to more. As we know previously, frontman Kris Roe has been selling his belongings in an effort to raise funds to sustain the album-making:

"Hey everyone. It's been awhile. Just thought I'd bring you all up to speed with The Ataris.

Been very busy recording a ton of new demos for what will be the next record from The Ataris. Been doing all the demos at a great little studio in Muncie, Indiana called Gallows Studios. They are listed in our top friends on myspace. Be sure to add them! If you have a band I definitely reccomend recording there! While I am at it, John and Paul also have a great studio outside New York called Silent Owl. Be sure to add them as well!

The songs are coming along awesome! Have about 10-15 new songs and hope to write a handful more before finally recording in the fall. Still working on a bit more lyrics, Have a lot written but just need to piece them all together now.

Music is just very melodic, raw, catchy, upbeat, sing along rock songs... Kinda like Minneapolis in a train wreck with early 90's Chapel Hill passed out drunk in the alley behind Gilman ST.

...something like that. whatever. It's just flowing naturally and feels pretty great so far.

Keep checking back at myspace.com/theataris - you may log on soon and see some new demos posted. So if you have not added us yet. Make sure that you do!! Things are just beginning..."
