Say “so long” to Astoria, and “hello” to Kristopher Roe of the Ataris on Season 02, Episode 38 of “Load-In Through the Back”!
The Indiana rockers 2003 album “So Long, Astoria” is widely regarded as one of pop punk’s best, and has been Certified Gold by the RIAA on the back of the hit singles “In This Diary” and their immensely popular Don Henley cover “Boys of Summer.”
Kristopher joins us to talk about life on the road, his creative process, the early-aughts revival, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and the strangest gifts he has ever been given by a fan.
The Ataris are back on the road this fall supporting MXPX, and will open Sioux Falls, South Dakota’s Phase Fest on June 13th alongside Taking Back Sunday, Bowling for Soup, Hoobastank, and more!
