Musical career

Atom was a founding member of the Thrash Funk band Psychefunkapus from 1986 to 1992 and a member of the San Francisco band Dieselhed from 1993 to 2000. During and after his tenure with Dieselhed he also performed as a regular sideman for Link Wray from 1996 to 2003.[citation needed]

For shorter stints Atom performed and recorded with World Entertainment War, The Pop-o-pies, Linda Perry, Virgil Shaw, Richard Thompson, Carl Hancock Rux, Neil Hamburger, Chuck Prophet, and Todd Rundgren & The New Cars .[1]

Ellis has performed as a sub for Rick Anderson in The Tubes since 2010 and has - since Rick's passing in 2022 - been "keeping the seat warm" ever since. Ellis cites Rick as a major bass influence since childhood.

Atom also now tours and records with The Flamin' Groovies
