Song featured in Bandslam
“The Aggrolites don’t just look to the Caribbean for inspiration. Just as the band’s beloved reggae came from the dangerous streets and back alleys of Jamaica, so too did American soul and funk, emerging in the ’60s and early ’70s deep in the core of the tense cities of that chaotic era.” – Ink, KansasCity.com (August 2009)
(August 26, 2009) As they round out a nearly 4-month tour throughout North America, Europe and Japan in support of their latest album IV (Hellcat), The Aggrolites show no signs of slowing down. They are one of only 13 acts hand-selected by Vans Warped Tour creator Kevin Lyman for the upcoming 15th Anniversary Celebration. The Aggrolites, 3OH!3, All-American Rejects, Bad Religion, blink-182, The Decaydance All Stars, Ice T, Katy Perry, NoFX, Ozomatli, Pennywise, Rise Against and Underoath will all perform at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on September 6. This will be filmed for a special event to air in more than 460 movie theaters on Thursday, September 17, at 8pm ET, 7pm CT, 8pm PT (tape delay). This two-hour spectacular will feature performance highlights, red carpet clips and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage. Tickets and information are available at www.fathomevents.com and www.warpedtour.com.
The Aggrolites have just added a U.S. fall tour with shows on the West Coast, Southwest and Midwest that also includes two festivals. They will debut songs from IV to their Santa Barbara, CA fans at the 2nd Annual West Beach Music & Arts Festival. Taking place the weekend of September 18-20, The Aggrolites will be joined by Ben Harper & Relentless 7, Steel Pulse, Ozomatli and Slightly Stoopid. www.westbeachfestival.com. Then the dirty reggae bunch return to Chicago for the 5th Annual Riot Fest. Alkaline Trio, Butthole Surfers, NOFX and Street Dogs are among the punk-infused talents also to be showcased October 7-12. www.riotfest.org.
