So, when we said we'd play the Amsterdam Derby Dames away, logistics were not at the forefront of our collective mind. As has often been the way at MRD, we like to jump in feet first and work it out as we go.
Hence, we're holding a band night at Manchester's beloved Roadhouse on Newton Street - a cosy/sweaty venue where you'll have seen many a band over the years - to raise pennies that'll help us towards the cause.
We've got three fantastic local bands playing and there'll be skaters galore milling about, trying to look all comfortable and aloof off eight wheels.
BANDS
Incassum "blend a vicious combination of melodic vocals, snarling growls and screams with a hint of face tearing riffs".

Pocketknife "mix chunky distortion with scratchy chords, with vocals influenced by Pj Harvey and Brodie Dalle. Their stop-start clipped style cuts through the full sound to create a semblance of a band who aren’t bothered by making listening to them difficult. But it’s certainly worth it".

Twin Planets "amalgamate the best of their New Wave & Post-Punk idols with a contemporary, alternative dynamism (and) are - without doubt - going to continue to rise."
Alex Mortimer-Jones, Top Hat Magazine
E-tickets are available from our website, here, and they'll also be available on the door for the princely sum of £5.
AmsterJAM takes place on Thursday 2nd August 2012 at The Roadhouse, Manchester - doors open 7pm. Your local roller derby club needs your support!
