Just a day after I got word that Lyrics Born would be headlining Saturday Night of the 2011 edition of Bend WinterFest, I just learned that The Aggrolites will be playing on Friday night.

A gritty old-school style reggae band out of Los Angeles, The Aggrolites have played frequently in Bend over the past couple of years, including much-raved-about headlining show at the Domino Room this spring. Although reggae has strayed to the outer regions of my radar, I became an instant fan of the band's latest full-length record, IV.

The band will take the WinterFest stage on Friday night with yet-to-be-announced opening acts.
