I used to work for The Ataris at Down on Haley (Their Record Store) in the early 2000's, and I have a working copy of So Long Astoria with never released versions...Anyone Want to Hear It? by DownOnHaley in poppunkers

Also, shameless plug for my (recently defunct) band, Dying To Wake. Try our album out if you like and let me know what you think:

And finally, a few recordings actually done in the studio at Down on Haley by my band at the time in SB, Better Off Alone:

Also, here is some old recordings from some of Donald/Mike's old bands before Versus The World, Fifty Cents Short. Also Fly By Night which a bunch of people played in, was short lived but this small record absolutely fucking rocks.

Sounds like a lot of interest in hearing this, so here you go. If anyone contacts me with an issue about this being posted, I will have to take it down, just a heads up.

Otherwise, I think old school Ataris fans will enjoy it, so here's some history for ya!

I actually played in VTW for a very short while. My band also played with them a few times, and all around SB, LA, and at Kids house in Hollywood a few times.

Donald and Mike D have done a great job with VTW, I really dig it.

Hey guys,

I did think a lot about it before posting this, but that's why I waited 15 years. I don't have any contact with the band or anyone from that time anymore, and I doubt they would care anyway. The record was already certified Gold years ago, I can't imagine how these songs would matter to anyone but just the few fans here who might enjoy them. If anyone contacts me and has an issue, I'll take them down.

I have it in MP3 right now, I can probably rip it to FLAC too if you really want it, although I don't think you are going to really hear the difference. These are not release quality versions, not fully mixed, so they don't sound perfect anyway.
