 The Ataris: Musical misfits set to rock Pipeline Cafe - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
Ataris lead vocalist/guitarist Kris Roe seemed — at least judging from cues gleaned from a phone interview — extremely well-read, an endless font of music trivia and an intelligent and patient conversationalist.
But Roe was quick to defend and briskly encapsulate the history of his band (very politely, I should add) before I could show off my own informed intelligence of The Ataris' not-quite-overnight-success story.
But Roe, who left smalltown Anderson, Ind., for the West Coast in 1997 at the behest of the label to form a band that would "just continue on an upward climb," wanted his music to be heard by larger, mainstream audiences.
