'''Ataxia''' was a group formed by [[John Frusciante]] of the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] on guitar; [[Joe Lally]] of [[Fugazi (band)|Fugazi]] on bass; and [[Josh Klinghoffer]] on drums. Ataxia wrote and recorded songs for two weeks, and the material was separated into two albums: ''[[Automatic Writing (album)|Automatic Writing]]'' (2004) and ''[[AW II]]'' (2007). In ''Automatic Writing'', Frusciante sang on "Dust", "The Sides", and "Addition"; Klinghoffer sang "Another", and Lally sang "Montreal". The songs all feature a ground-bass line with the guitar overlaying different motives and long developments. Ataxia performed two shows, both at the [[Knitting Factory]] in [[Los Angeles]] on [[February 2]] and [[February 3]], [[2004]]. Following this, the group disbanded.

During an interview for JoshKlinghoffer.Net, Joe Lally was asked about a potential Ataxia Reunion. Following Joe's comments in this interview, sites about the members of Ataxia have launched a campaign website to encourage the band to reunite. [http://www.ataxiareunion.com link title]
