The Aggrolites live in Berkeley at The Shattuck Down Low

Dirty Reggae!

"This is bumper music for a hard day's work, and in the spirit of the Specials, Prince Buster and Lee "Scratch" Perry, it goes down like a frosty cold one. Frontman Jesse Wagner's ferocious vocals lend a punk edge to the grooves, but over the course of "IV," the star of the show might be organist Roger Rivas, whose vintage keys get you out of your seat faster than a hotfoot."

- Kevin Bronson, buzzbands.la (June 2009)
Strictly the facts...

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

2009

Their fourth full-length album IV (Hellcat Records) was released on June 9.

IV debuted at #110 and peaked at #60 on the Top 200 CMJ Chart. IV also debuted at #37 on the Triple A CMJ Chart and #12 on the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Commercial Alternative Specialty Show Album Chart.

There were fan listening parties and special acoustic performances at such California spots as Fingerprints Records in Long Beach, Blue Beat Lounge in Hollywood, Bar One in Burbank, Johnny's Saloon in Huntington Beach, Hensley's Flying Elephant in Carlsbad and Innes Clothing Warehouse in Oceanside.

The Aggrolites played nearly sold-out album release shows at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles and The Belly Up in San Diego.

They just completed a successful North American tour and have embarked on an extensive European tour for most of the summer.

"The group's upbeat, soul-infused reggae attack puts the rock back in rocksteady. Mixing ska, Motown and punk-rock energy with Jamaican rhythms, The Aggrolites tear it up with the intensity of The Clash and the heart of the Caribbean."

Jan 15, 2010 at 9:00 PM PST Chris Pureka plus Coyote Grace at Shattuck Down Low - Berkeley, CA $10.00

"Folky sorrowful songs of loneliness and hurt, longing to reunite. Her (Chris Pureka) tunes have the grave Appalachian flavor of Neil Young and Gillian Welch; her guitar playing is subdued but quietly virtuosic. And her voice can be a desolate whisper or a bitter accusation. There?s no comfort, for her, in the clarity of her observations.? - NY Times

Jan 22, 2010 at 9:00 PM PST to Jan 23, 2010 1:45 AM PST CASH'D OUT : The next best thing to Johnny Cash at Shattuck Down Low - Berkeley, CA $10.00

Cash'd Out - The premier Johnny Cash tribute band, comes to The Shattuck Down Low in Berkeley. Cash'd Out is the premier Johnny Cash tribute band in the world, bar none. Cash'd Out is the only tribute band endorsed by and linked to the official Johnny Cash website. Cash'd Out live shows respectfully reference the late, great Man in Black's early Columbia era and Sun Records sound, combined with the energy of the classic multi-platinum live recordings from Folsom Prison and San Quentin. Bill Miller (owner of johnnycash.com and JC's best friend for 25 years) requested Cash'd Out perform at the recent opening of the Johnny Cash Exhibit as the Fender Museum. Not a bad compliment from the man who has lived and breathed Johnny Cash since first hearing him in 1969! Not only that, they bear a striking resemblance to Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three!
