biographical info
Formally one of the founding members of Montreal's much -missed power pop combo Assembly Required Atlas now ventures back and forth between Montreal and Toronto with his twisty urban folk songs and his dynamic live show.
Atlas' songs offer up a compelling cast of characters ranging from gypsy seductresses and psychotic neighbors, to Playboy Bunny teachers and Canadian Christmas Tree salesmen. Set to a twisted urban folk backing Atlas' music is dominated by inventive acoustic guitar playing and dynamic musical interaction with whatever muisicians he happens to be playing with at that moment.
Atlas has just released his first solo CD - Head Start.
