The newest reggae-rocksteady group to come out of Los Angeles, CA are The Bullets, formed by Roger Rivas, the organist from The Aggrolites.  The Bullets, featuring members of bands like Ocean’s 11 and Irie Beats, have major influences from oldies music but fuse it with some signature reggae and soul.  The above video is from their live debut performance.

You can download the song “Viva Torido” by The Bullets HERE or stream it below:

Pictures have now been posted from the Aggrolites, Void Union and Prizefighters show from June 14, 2009.  The show was a phenomonal success and more of giant party than a concert.  The Varsity Theater in Dinkytown (Minneapolis, MN) hosted the shindig and it was great to see so many people groovin’ and dancin’ to the reggae and rocksteady music.  A DJ spun reggae and soul records in between sets so that the party was never dulled.  This party was a great way to kick off the Twin Cities summer season.

Big thanks to Degross Punk Photography for shooting these great pictures!  Check them out HERE.  You can see more after the jump.
