The Aggrolites offer music and shows for fans

The Aggrolites Announce Their Reggae Hit L.A. Tour and Offer Fans “Free Time”

Hear “Free Time” Now
Just weeks away from the release of their highly-anticipated third album Reggae Hit L.A., The Aggrolites offer fans a chance to listen to their first single “Free Time” on www.myspace.com/theaggrolites. This soulful reggae track tells the story of longing for home and loved ones while out on the road and features a heart-wrenching twist in the end. Inspired by the challenges of spreading “dirty reggae” across the globe, all 15 tracks on Reggae Hit L.A. were written and produced by The Aggrolites.
Jo-Ann Green of All Music Guide says “Reggae Hit L.A. swaggers right off the grooves, and (is) so full of fun that it's a party in itself.”
The album hits stores and House of Blues Sunset Strip on June 5.

Get Hooked Up at Album Release Shows
To kick off their summertime tour, The Aggrolites host two official album release shows. The first will be at House of Blues Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA on June 5 and the second at the Galaxy Concert Theatre in Santa Ana, CA. For both shows, fans will get a copy of Reggae Hit L.A. with the purchase of a concert ticket. The album is available for pick up at the merchandise table on the night of each show.
