Reggae is truly easy listening. You always know what you’re getting, you don’t have to think too hard to enjoy it, and it never fails to put you in a good mood.

On Thursday night at Hollywood’s Roxy Theatre, the crowd got three different flavors of the genre from the Dirty Heads (rap reggae), the Aggrolites (punk reggae) and Cipes and the People (surf reggae).

The Huntington Beach-based Heads have amassed a pretty loyal following with their debut album, Any Port in a Storm, as evidenced by the wild cheering when they hit the intimate venue’s stage. They kicked off their dozen-song set with “Taint,” a name-checking upbeat number.

A few songs later, the foursome’s amazing percussionists — one with a traditional drum set (Matt Ochoa) and the other rocking bongos and high-hats (Jon Olazabal) — really got to kick into gear on “Shine.” The funky song had a great breakdown in the middle and a very abrupt finish (in a good way). The drummers also got to show off on “Check the Level,” a roaring, Beastie Boys-sounding track that really picked up the energy and also showcased the talents of dual frontmen Jared Watson and Dustin Bushnell, who share singing and MC duties.

It wasn’t all uptempo all the time, though. The Dirty Heads also played a cute love song (”Everything I’m Looking For,” their album closer) and ended the show with their best-known song, “Stand Tall,” which appeared in the animated movie “Surf’s Up.”

The Aggrolites, however, kept things pretty fast-paced all set, with their bouncy energy and punk-infused sound. Lead singer Jesse Wagner kept the energy up all night, running around the stage and dodging his bandmates’ instruments. One of those instruments happened to be an organ — which I’ve never seen played outside a church. Organ/piano player Roger Rivas got a wicked solo on “Funky Fire,” a (you guessed it) upbeat number from the band’s self-titled 2006 album.

The group played Warped Tour this past summer, which no doubt had something to do with the loyal fans singing along all night.

Cipes and the People didn’t seem to bring out as many fans as the Dirty Heads and the Aggrolites did, but their sunny reggae still had the crowd moving. One audience member even called for frontman Greg Cipes to take off his pants. He politely declined.
