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.[...]
ROLLERCON. The very name strikes excitement and trepidation into my rookie heart. Once a year thousands of rollergirls converge on a hotel/casino in Las Vegas for a full five days of hard-skating, hard-partying fun. As a Rollercon virgin, I didn’t know what to expect, but I expected to be blown away,[...]

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.
