    The Aggrolites and Starpool this Wednesday @ The Barn

    KUCR and ASPB are proud to announce, fresh off tour with 311 and the debut of their new record, “Reggae Hit L.A.”: The Aggrolites, performing live at the UCR Barn with special guests Starpool – this Wednesday, 5th March at 7PM, for free. This is the last blowout show for ASPB’s now-infamous Winter Concert series, so do not miss this one!

    KUCR - Aggrolites March 5th

    Blame it on No Doubt or blame it on Sublime, but by the middle of the 1990s, very little of the pop music that was described as ska had anything to do with Jamaican dance music of the early ’60s. Too many bands whose sole connection to the musical style had been a few singles by the Specials or The English Beat got it all exactly backward, with the punk influences drowning out what little Jamaican influence remained: the result was basically Green Day with horns, and it wasn’t any good for anyone. If The Aggrolites (formed in 2002) have a stated mission, it’s to remind modern audiences what proper ska sounded like, whether in Kingston in 1963 or in London in 1979 [amg].

    And, hell, to have some fun.



    The Aggrolites – Free Time

    This concert is the final blowout of the Winter season, and it will fill up, without question. If you consider yourself a punk, reggae, or ska fan – do yourself a favor, and get there early. We can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to fit everyone (remember what happened at the Mistah Fab / Zion I show?) – so don’t say we didn’t warn you. Doors open at 6.

    Did we mention that this is free?

    Okay, if you really need more convincing, here’s The Aggrolites on Yo Gabba Gabba. Undeniably awesome.

    The Show:
    Location – at the UC Riverside Barn
    Date – Wednesday, 5th March
    Time – 7PM, but doors open at 6:00. Get there early, or get locked out. Really.
    Price – Free, but you’re on your own for parking.

    I’m going to stand up front and demand that they play the banana song. Who’s with me?
