On Wednesday, The Ataris come to the Velvet Jones, the perfect spot for “four friends creating words and music in the basements and dive bars of the world, while young souls pile into the microphone and spill beer into our effects pedals,” according to their bio on the Kung Fu Records website. The band has been together for more than 15 years, and owns a gold record in “So Long, Astoria,” selling more than 850,000 copies. Singer/songwriter Kristopher Roe also has a solo acoustic album called “Hang Your Head in Hope,” which was recorded in one take with no edits or overdubs. Where: Velvet Jones (423 State St.); When: 8 p.m., Wednesday; Tickets: $16-18; Information: velvet-jones.com.
