There’s rock n’ roll. And then there’s roller rock. As in roller derby rock. Renegade roller derby! Portland, Oregon’s Rocket 3 strap on the quads and give new meaning to the term “jam band” in this charming video featuring the members of Portland Renegade Roller Derby, “a no holds barred, full contact, co-ed roller derby team who are putting the dirty back in derby.” That’s real rock n’ roll, kids! Produced by Portland Media Works, the video was shot at the White Eagle tavern in Portland and the Renegade’s home turf in Gresham, Oregon.
“Good Enough” is from Rocket 3’s excellent, upcoming debut album, Burn; out November 4, the 13-song LP augments a memorable set of original songs with covers of “Submission” by the Sex Pistols, “All Tomorrow’s Parties” by the Velvet Underground, and a fine version of “Only Shallow” by My Bloody Valentine. Yeah!
