Gotham Girls to Stage First Bout Tonight

The dangerous divas of Gotham Girls Roller Derby (GGRD), New York's only all-female roller derby league, will face off in their first-ever exhibition bout on Friday, November 12, at Skate Key Skate and Dance Family Center in the "Boogie Down" Bronx, NY. Two teams of badass rollerbabes — the Manhattan Mayhem, in inmate orange, and the Brooklyn Bombshells, in sailorette stripes — will battle to the bloody end for the title of "Toughest Gang of Chicks on Skates."

In addition to three 15-minute periods of hot girl-on-girl action, the bout will feature live music by bands Black Moustache and Sex Slaves during game breaks, and a DJ to spin the crowd into a frenzy while the action's taking place. Also keep an eye open for beer specials, snack bar goodies, and GGRD merchandise and bout programs.

Skate Key is located at 220 E. 138th St. in the South Bronx, just one stop out of Manhattan on the 4/5 subway lines. From the 138th Street/Grand Concourse station, walk one block east on East 138th — Skate Key is across the street. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the bout starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door.
