Kris Roe is the lead singer and guitarist of California punk band The
Ataris. He started the band in 1995 when he gave a demo CD to The
Vandals band member Warren Fitzgerald who liked it so much he insisted
they get their band up and running. Signing up with Joe Escalante (also
of the vandals) owner of Kung Fu records, Kris and the band began their
professional music life and recorded the albums 'Anywhere but here',
'Let it burn', 'End is forever' & 'Blue Skies-Broken Hearts... Next 12
exits'. Over the years since forming, the band has changed members
leaving Kris as the only original member. In 2003 the band signed up
with Columbia records and recorded 'So Long Astoria'. Kris lives in
Santa Barbara, California with wife Denice and daughter Starla who are
the inspiration for many of his songs.
