The Aggrolites European and UK tours 2010

The Aggrolites

Press Release:

LA reggae five piece The Aggrolites show no signs of slowing down. After extensively touring throughout Europe, North America and Japan last year in support of their fourth and latest album “IV”, the band will return to Europe in April for a run of festival and headlining dates. Kicking of the tour in Portugal and wrapping it up in The Netherlands the band will cross a big part of the European mainland during their one month stay.

The Aggrolites are more than a band they are a movement unto themselves. They carry a banner – one created with their own hands. This banner reads, “Dirty Reggae,” and represents their signature fusion of reggae, soul, grit and determination. For seven magnificent years, this dirty reggae bunch has rolled from city to city, across the pond and up main street USA. They have earned a Ph.D in “feel good music.” On the road they educate with the thunder and punch of reggae drums and bass, the ripping, soulful melodies of the organ and guitars, and Jesse’s voice. Over the course of their seven year career, they have shared stages with Social Distortion, Madness, 311, Rancid, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, The Vandals, Gogol Bordello, The Skatalites, The Aquabats, Hepcat, Prince Buster and Derrick Morgan.

The Aggrolites are Jesse Wagner (vocals, lead guitar), Brian Dixon (rhythm guitar), Roger Rivas (organ), Jeff Roffredo (bass) and Alex Mc Kenzie (drums).
