After nearly seven years in Shoreham and Haywards Heath, Brighton’s roller derby daredevils finally get to showcase their shiz in the city itself in this Rockers v Rockers uncivil war with live bands and more.
Roller what? Essentially, a series of ultra violent races on a flat velodrome where the two competitors have the help of a small rugby pack, but… er… they’re on roller skates and primarily (as here) punky white collar females.
Though the line-up has gone through countless changes since the team appeared on the front cover of SOURCE mag back in 2012, the attitude of the Brighton Rockers has remained the same. In fact, two of the players we interviewed then (Mass Janeycide and Mistress Von Uber Vixen) will be bench coaches for the rival teams.
Suffice to say, this event will likely rank in the top five strangest spectacles this 213-year-old building has ever seen – and one of the best.
Competition!
