Despite being around for only six years, Aggrolites are already pretty legendary for its party-ready ska-reggae music. It's kind of as if James Brown, Squirrel Nut Zippers, the Wailers and Slightly Stoopid were rolled into a giant sleeping bag. On Baja. With some, ah, "party favors" appropriate for the locale. Anyway ... only once in my life have I seen a black man in a kilt (and that guy lives in Dallas!). Make that twice now, since a member of urban funk-metal act Fishbone is sitting in on saxophone for Aggrolites here, and he's sporting a Scottish skirt with no shirt Niiice. That's part and parcel for the band's incessant crowd imploration, as well as its awareness that it's a party band and little more. "Oh, we can go all night," singer Jesse Wagner lamented after the crowd didn't please him during a sonic brake-check in the middle of "Don't Let Me Down." Um, wrong, dude: two minutes later, your set's over. Too bad ... so sad ... now shut that godawful tremolo organ down and head for the bus. Next! |
