Aggrolites -- FREE INSTORE

Aggrolites In-store Performance
Wednesday, August 15th, 7:00pm

This will be a very special acoustic performance by LA’s reigning reggae kings. Unlike other pretenders to the style of ska and reggae, the Aggrolites reach further into the past than Sublime and Bob Marley’s Legend album; imagine California reggae that’s familiar with Studio One, Prince Buster, and The Skatalites. Soulful, rhythmic, and full of attitude the Aggrolites create groove-heavy Los Angeles inspired dirty reggae. They’ve enjoyed some attention from Indie 103.1, had the honor of playing the release party for the Joe Strummer film The Future Is Unwritten, including their versions of "White Man from Hammersmith Palais" and "Know Your Rights." And the Aggrolites have also played as the backing band on Rancid main-man Tim Armstrong’s solo album, A Poet’s Life. Now you can hear them playing a stripped down set right here on our little stage. This is a free wristband event, call or visit to be added to the guest list.

Some recent press:

“...Uncanny instincts and expert Jamaican grooves....that's how on the money they are."
      - Ben Wener, OC Register

"Reggae Hit L.A. is a dazzling album from start to finish. The Aggrolites have carved out their niche in the music community and planted their flag in a hybrid territory made up of some of the most soulful music around, and in doing so have crafted the perfect summer album."      - Punknews.com
