Six London Rockin’ Rollers… and an art gallery. This could be a recipe for disaster! But early one Sunday morning Dirty/DC, Grace Under Pressure, Dire Ria, Sassy Spacek, Minnie Minestrone and myself, Sasha Grazed, are hurtling around the fifth annual Frieze Week exhibition presented at The Mayor’s Parlour in Bow.[...]
OK, I’m going to be honest, I’m one of those girls who wanted to do roller derby because of the film Whip It. Well, because of ‘Whip It’ and my big-little sister and because I needed to get off my massive arse and do some exercise. I wish I’d watched[...]
It sucks to be the new girl. It’s the first day of school all over again – meeting people, trying to remember to be friendly and remembering names and all that jazz? It’s something that most people could live without. Add to that mix 30 more odd girls who feel[...]
Last year wandering around Kapow Comic Con I spotted the London Rockin’ Rollers stand; I viewed from afar and slowly edged over to find out some more info. Now, I’m a tad shy so I was just going to nab a leaflet and then run away – no such luck, I’d[...]
Ellie Harrison skates with Glasgow Roller Derby and is the founder of the National Museum of Roller Derby at the Women’s Library in Glasgow that has opened this year. As Ellie is an artist and a skater we asked Rebel Rebel, a curator and a skater with London Rockin’ Rollers, to grab an[...]
In Autumn 2011, our head of PR was approached by the London Olympics committee. They wanted skaters in the opening ceremonies, and we were apparently a perfect choice due to the fact that we can already skate and are heavily based in East London where the Games were to be[...]
Over the years it has been suggested a number of times that we host a bootcamp led by our very own London Rockin’ Rollers’s coaches. Finally last year we decided to do it, and if we were going to do it at all, then we had to do it properly.[...]
After hearing that Aerosmith were using rollergirls for their ‘Legendary Child’ video, it got us thinking about our favourite videos featuring derby skaters. Here’s the Aerosmith video featuring the LA Derby Dolls making a getaway on skates – we definitely think the FBI should employ more rollergirls for national security.[...]
It’s been a busy few weeks for the London Rockin’ Rollers. On 9 and 10 June, we hosted our first Bootcamp and, even if we say so ourselves, it was a massive success all round. Skaters from all over the country came down to attend, including rollergirls from Big Bucks[...]
In May we had the privilege of meeting the lovely Chris Brock and posing for a good old-fashioned backyard brawl.We loved it! Hope we didn’t scare Chris too much though. “I’ve never been so frightened on a photoshoot, yet somehow I managed to overcome the fear just enough to avoid[...]
This weekend the London Rockin’ Rollers enjoyed our second year at Kapow! Comic Con; we had so much fun last year that we just had to come back. Skating around in our London Rockin Rollers Y-fronts we looked as much like superheroes as anyone in the Cosplay competition! Highlights included watching[...]
The London Rockin’ Rollers know a thing or two about kicking arse on the track, which is why the Maxim backed True Gits team recruited us to review the brand new 2D fighting game for the PlayStation3 and Xbox 360, Skull Girls. Presenters Neil and Tom came to visit Betty Swollox, KayC/DC and[...]
Alternative life drawing class organisers Art Macabre invited London Rockin’ Rollers’ KayC/DC and DisorderLee to take part in their Death Becomes Her: Roller Derby special last month, held at Islington’s Cass Art. Focused on the fine sporting physique of roller girls in their war paint and boutfits, the girls held a whole[...]
We’ve been loving the Black Spiders’ mojo after one of the band was spotted wearing a Rockin’ Rollers t-shirt on stage last year. Now, we’re in the video for their latest single! It’s inspired by a nightmare lead singer Spider had about KISS: “It was a strange dream but it made[...]
Last week we were super excited to be recording a show inside the Wilton Road Cafe, home of London Fields Radio. The station produces radio for the creative community in Hackney, and with an already impressive show list of East London musicians, designers, drag artists, DJs and cabaret stars, we[...]

For the love of Wispa … the London Rockin’ Rollers pledged eleven rollergirls to help make their television advert! The girls were there from the crack of dawn til the evening, alongside stilt walkers, a marching band, hula hoopers, scooter boys, bmx riders, Mexican wrestlers, and then some! It will[...]
If you haven’t been to a London Rockin’ Rollers party yet you have no idea what you’re missing! This time we present you The Mojo Kings and Billy Rebel, at the Bullet Bar on 28 November. Put this date in your diary already!
Inspired by rich heritage and traditions, the Ace Cafe still embodies the same values as it did when it was first home to the Ton Up Boys (and girls) and the Rockers. What could be found on a Triton in the 50′s and 60′s is emulated today on modern machines.[...]
