THE AGGROLITES PLAY TONIGHT! AT THE EL REY THEATRE IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA
|
|
Source: Paul Rogers LAWeekly.com
Despite looking like they're about to shake you down behind a 7-Eleven, L.A.'s hard-touring Aggrolites are in fact acolytes of the good-vibes, offbeat-obsessed reggae/rocksteady of 1960s Jamaica (indeed, they formed in 2002 as the backing band for first-wave Jamaican reggae icon Derrick Morgan).
Not
to be confused with the lo-cal SoCal ska of, say, Sublime or Save
Ferris, the Aggrolites use bowel-loosening, burbling bass; optimistic
organ; compact, rimshot-punctuated beats; and Jesse Wagner's warm,
brotherly lurve vocals to create something that's earthy and earnest yet utterly danceable.
Over the course of three albums to date (newie IV arrives on June 9),
they've gradually focused more on actual songs without compromising the
embracing aura of their earlier, more improvised recordings. Laid-back but laced with grainy street-smarts, the Aggrolites — like all great bands — transcend mere beats, notes and lust for attention to imply some grandiose message in their music. I'm buggered if I know what it is, mind you, but the band call it "dirty reggae" — and I'll run with that.
The Show...
The Aggrolites FRI. MAY 15, 8:00PM Price: $18
El Rey Theatre 5515 Wilshire Blvd. L.A., CA

A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO INTRODUCE YOUNG READERS TO THE LEGENDARY BOB MARLEY!
|
|
I AND I BOB MARLEY
by Tony Medina, illustrated by Jesse Joshua Watson
★ Starred Review, Booklist
“The book is a lovely addition not only for a children’s library but for all those who love the on-going iconography of reggae’s most profound proponent.”
—Roger Steffans, Bob Marley Historian and founder of The Beat Magazine
“From love to politics to peace, Marley’s music stirs the soul—as does this passionate collaboration.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Medina’s insightful freestyle poetry and Watson’s gorgeous illustrations combine word pictures and image poems in a feast for the eye and inner ear as creative in their presentation as Marley was in his.” —Chuck Foster, Reggae Festival Guide
Brimming with imagination and insight, I and I Bob Marley is a multifaceted tribute befitting this international musical legend. Soulful, sun-drenched paintings transport readers to Bob Marley’s Jamaica, while uniquely perceptive poems bring to life his fascinating journey from boy to icon.

SUMFEST PROMOTERS CLAIM AWARD AS COUNTDOWN TO FESTIVAL BEGINS
|
|
"This is evidence that we're doing something right with Reggae Sumfest" Johnny Gourzong, executive director of Summerfest Promotions said after collecting the award last Sunday in New York. Gourzong, who collected the same award in 2008, in addition to the award for Concert of the Year, says the trophy serves as extra motivation to provide entertainment value like Jamaica has never seen. "I'm excited about this award, and after this year's Sumfest, we will prove for the 17th consecutive year, that we are The greatest reggae show on earth," Gourzong commented.
The Summerfest Production team is keeping secret the international acts they are in talks with for the Festival - which begins on July 19 with a beach party and continues with three days of magnificent live performances beginning on Thursday, July 23 and ending on Saturday, July 25 - but say that they are pleased with the direction the line-up is taking."We are pleased with how the line-up is coming together, and we promise this year's Sumfest will be one to remember".
With dancehall acts Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Vybz Kartel, Mavado, Busy Signal (shown in photo), Elephant Man already confirmed for the show, along with reggae stars Tarrus Riley, Etana, Coco Tea, and Morgan Heritage, the show's line-up is truly shaping up to be an entertainment explosion.
Summerfest Productions will take over Montego Bay from July 19-25 for the 17th staging of the greatest reggae show on earth, Reggae Sumfest... so get ready to be infected by Reggae Sumfest fever.

AN ARTIST'S PRAYER
O Great Creator of All Life, Breath of our Breath
We gather Here in Your name
That we may be of service to You
And to our sisters and brothers
We offer ourselves to you as instruments
We open ourselves to your creativity in our lives
We surrender to you our old ideas
We welcome your new and more expansive thoughts
We trust that you will lead
We trust that it is safe to follow
We know you created us and that creativity
Is Your nature and our own
We ask you to unfold our lives
According to Your plan
Help us to believe that it is never too late
And we can be healed and feel the connectedness with all things
Help us to love one another
To nurture each other’s unfolding
To encourage each other’s growth
To free ourselves from our fears
Help us to know that we are never alone
That we are made in Your Image and loved and lovable
Help us to create as an act of worship to You.
Amen
