Atari Ferrari

Matthew Joseph Hughes (known solo as Automatic Shoes) is on lead vocals & guitar. Eric Woodard, guitar. Scott Schultz, bass. Rob Shugert, drums. "From the retro cultural signifiers in their name to the sentiments of their single “Born in the Wrong Time,” it’s obvious that local quintet Atari Ferrari is enamored of the past. It comes through in the music, too, blasts of power-pop that channel the stomp of T.Rex and the swagger of the Pretenders. Frontman Matthew Hughes can snarl with the best of ‘em, then swing right into a ballad without missing a beat." - The Inlander

Atari Ferrari have recently released their third full length album, Pleasant Surprise, which Classic Rock Magazine calls a " juicy, dreamy little hybrid of toe-tapping bass and beats, debonair Pretenders vibes and touches of Marc Bolan-esque glam [...] Atari Ferrari have an ear for melody and thoughtful nostalgia that makes them feel both fresh and beautifully familiar."
