California punk-pop act the Ataris promote their 2003 album "So Long, Astoria" in this sampling of tunes performed live at a music video shoot for their song "In This Diary," which hit No. 11 on Billboard's U.S. Modern Rock Tracks. Songs in the collection include "Takeoffs and Landings," "Teenage Riot," "Unopened Letter to the World," "My Reply" and "Song #13." Also included are behind-the-scenes footage and a band biography.
The Ataris
Vandals bassist Joe Escalante stars as beleaguered club owner Brian Gomez in this tongue-in-cheek look at the California punk rock scene -- which has undeniable elements of after-school specialness -- that he also wrote and produced. Tenacious D's Kyle Gass co-stars as the evil fire marshal determined to shut down Gomez's Mullet club. Bonus concert performances are also included, featuring NOFX, the Ataris and Good Riddance.
