The Aggrolites have just added a U.S. fall tour with shows on the West Coast, Southwest and Midwest that also includes two festivals. They will debut songs from IV to their Santa Barbara, CA fans at the 2nd Annual West Beach Music & Arts Festival. Taking place the weekend of September 18-20, The Aggrolites will be joined by Ben Harper & Relentless 7, Steel Pulse, Ozomatli and Slightly Stoopid. www.westbeachfestival.com.

The musical-romantic comedy Bandslam, released August 14, 2009, features The Aggrolites hit “Free Time.” Bandslam follows an unlikely group of teenagers with a shared love of music who form a rock group and perform in the battle of the bands competition at their high school. It stars Vanessa Hudgens, Lisa Kudrow, Gaelan Connell and Aly Michalka. http://bandslam-movie.com/ This is yet another song added to the growing list of The Aggrolites’ movie and television music placements, which includes National Lampoon Endless Bummer, NBC’s Friday Night Lights, Nick Jr.’s Yo Gabba Gabba, MTV’s The Hills and MTV’s Nitro Circus.

Due to circumstances beyond our control the gig at Concorde in Brighton on 9 November has been cancelled. All tickets purchased will be refunded by the venue, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and hope that some of you will please make the trip to London Islington Academy this Saturday night, 8 November!

ALL OTHER GIGS WILL GO ON AS SCHEDULED!!!

The cancellation of Brighton and the other night's Nottingham gig are due to last minute changes by UK agent Chris Gee at MTT productions. The band prides itself on not cancelling gigs, we are the victims of unfortunate circumstances and feel terrible for not being able to make the dates for some of the most dedicated fans in the world. We were looking forward to the Nottingham and Brighton gigs and hope to make it back as soon as possible.

***********************PLEASE REPOST**************************
Monday, September 24, 2007 
We are all devastated by the loss of our dear friend and bandmate Dave Fuentes. We are extremely honored to have played with Dave during his last days. Dave was a big influence on every one of us for years, and for him to join us onstage and call himself an Aggrolite meant the world to us. No one will ever be able to play bass like Dave, it came so easy to him and his technique is untouchable. Dave will definately go down in history as the greatest ska bass player of our generation. Onstage he was a star and you couldn't take your eyes off of him, but once he came down off the stage, he was a regualr guy just smiling and having a good time. Dave was so friendly that everywhere we went, he was talking to people- whether it was fans at a show, or the employee at a gas station. He was truley an inspiration both musically and in life. We all had a nickname for him - "Wisdom Dave" because he was always full of insight and helpful advice. He set an example as a man, as a friend, a husband and as a father. He never had anything bad to say about anyone. Every night on tour at 8:00, we would be able to spot Dave somewhere in the corner of a venue, or in the dressing room on the phone saying goodnight to his children and his wife. We couldn't drive by a shopping center without Dave stopping to look for gifts for his wife and children. Our hearts go out to his wife and children as well as the rest of his family, and to our brothers in Hepcat. Dave is loved and cherished by so many people... we miss you already Dave. 'Till we meet again "Aggro-Cat." Rest in peace.
