Cold War Kids (US) was in Denmark with support Milo Green. Energetic and alive (and it always help being alive, when you’re touring) is some of the words, that came to mind, when I watched singer Nathan Willet going full … Continue reading

That was a nailbiter – Crime City Rollers A-team took on the best team in Belgium, Gent Go-Go Roller Girls from – well, Gent. Crime City Rollers plays a mean defence and have awesome jammers and quite scary blockers. I … Continue reading

Another great day in Baltiskan Hallen in Malmö, Sweden. First bout of two was between Malmös Crime City Rollers B-team vs. Zürich City RollerGirlz. Crime City pulled a great performance and won 304-105, but I think the numbers lied a … Continue reading

Kick Ass Cuties from Copenhagen Roller Derby played their first bout against a Norwegian opponent, Nidaros Roller Derby from Trondheim. They were a big surprise to me – very good in defense and some of the jammers were very fast … Continue reading

Our friends from Helsinki Roller Derby showed Copenhagen Roller Derby a bit about how they do it in Finland – they party hard and derby hard. Rollin Heartbreakers had a tough time with the penalty box and was down quite … Continue reading
