Aggrolites -- FREE INSTORE

Aggrolites Free In-store Performance
Saturday, June 6th - 1:00pm

They've been here before and folks are still talking about it, so when they asked about coming back it was an immediate "Yes". For the release of their new album, IV, The Aggrolites have once again agreed to strip things down to their acoustic roots and bring their dirty reggae party back to celebrate their outstanding new album. Their sound is a blend of funky old-school ska and reggae, lovingly representing the classic sounds of 70s Jamaica to a generation that has never heard of Studio One. This is their most accomplished set yet, with more soulful settings to feature singer Jesse Wagner's Motown-inflected voice. The record arrives on the heels of the band accepting their first appearance at Coachella, and backing Rancid's Tim Armstrong on his debut solo album, A Poet's Life.

Their new album IV is supposed to hit the shelves on Tuesday, June 9th, but we've secured a waiver from the proper authorities to open the window immediately following the in-store for any of the fans who are able to join us to buy a copy, but the rest have to go back in the box until Tuesday. So, if you'd like to join us, we've opened the guest list for anyone who pre-orders IV to join us for this special event. If there is still space available we will open the list first come first served on Friday, June 5th.
