  The Northern Brisbane Rollers Brawl Stars play host to one of Victoria’s toughest derby teams, the Geelong Bloody Marys, on Saturday 16 October 2010.

It’s been almost a year since the Northern Brisbane Rollers (NBR) played their first interstate bout. At the ‘Skate of Emergency’ double-header in Adelaide on 27 September 2009 NBR lost to the Adelady Tornadoes by a 40-point margin.

Fast forward to Sydney on 22 May this year – NBR travelled south and played in a rather controversial match against the Sydney Roller Derby League. It was a neck and neck encounter until the dying minutes. Final score: Sydney 106 Brisbane 86.

When Regina Spektor’s family moved from her birthplace of the Soviet Union to America’s Bronx, her musical interests and talent expanded from the genre of classical music toward the vibrancy of pop and rock. These transitions of location and taste are reflected in the classical artistry within her piano composition and distinctive eclectic fusion of sounds.
