With their nails name and quasi-skinhead looks, the Aggrolites don't seem like the kind of band you'd take to a party -- unless you wanted to bust it up.
The band is coming to KC behind their fourth album, out June 9 on Hellcat. The show's at the Beaumont on June 12 and is billed as the "Official After-Party for Rise Against/Rancid," so I take that to mean the band is playing the afterparty for and not playing with Rise Against and Rancid, which is a bit unusual, but hey, like I said -- these guys like to party.

I saw them at the Marquis in Denver a couple months back because I seemed to miss them every time they came to town before that... I'm far too old to deal with sweaty drunk punks, but I will be at this after party no matter where it is or what the cost.
BTW. Where is it and what does it cost?
Once in Austin at the Flamingo Cantina to a PACKED house, once at Warped tour from the side of the stage (and they played with Angelo Moore from Fishbone), and once to a nearly-empty Bowery Ballroom in New York City. Every time it was a pleasure.
The Aggrolites are the best love band you're not watching. Seriously, I've never seen them play a bad set. Their frontman, Jesse, will play the audience, and you will dance. You better know all the words to "Don't Let Me Down" by the Beatles and the Temptations' "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." They may cover it, and they will not hesitate to start over if the audience isn't holding up their end. I regret that I will be out of town for this.
