An Open Letter To The Atari's

Dear The Atari's,

What happened? You used to be great! One of my big influences in fact. "Blue Skies..." was such an amazing album, as was "End Is Forever" and "So Long, Astoria". Great, passionate, energetic punk rock. There was the occasional slower, indie-like song that I could cope with. In fact, they were often the highlight of the album - something different to break it up. But, a whole album of that crap?! Sorry guys but you've gone down in my estimation. Enjoy your fame with the NME...

Hallo I am Mark from Austria.
Can you give me the setlist from the mxpx concert.

hello Mark from Austria. I'm assuming you're going to come back to the blog to read my reply seeing as you left no email address for me to send this to!

Anyway, from memory it was:

the next big thing
responsibility
heard that sound
well adjusted
doing time
chick magnet
let it happen
wrecking hotel rooms
tomorrow's another day
500 miles / surrender
darkest places
punk rawk show

(the order is wrong except for the 1st 4 and last 1 - possibly 1 or 2 more as well)

Thanks,
but only three songs from the newest album PANIC?

yep, only 3. shame really though! they didn't play for very long as it was a joint headline tour so that could be the reason.
