In late 1994, The Ataris formed as a band. They signed soon after, on January 15, 1996, to Kung Fu Records. In autumn of the same year, ''Anywhere But Here'', their first LP was recorded. They released it on April 29, 1997. A year and a few months later, in June of 1998, they recorded ''Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits''. In September of that year, they began recording ''Look Forward to Failure'', their third album. It was released very soon after, on November 24 of 1998. Read Full biography...
