Coachella Not, But TXRD & Lions Yes

While we wish that Coachella was to be what we are writing about this weekend, it unfortunately isn’t yet there are many other bloggers covering the event in grand fashion. We quietly spent the weekend enjoying the sounds of Lomita at their CD release party on Friday @ The Beauty Bar Austin and taking in the most entertaining and amazingly intense affair @ the Austin Convention Center, the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls with our friends Lions providing the halftime entertainment. Reigning champs Putas del Fuego took on the Holy Rollers in a match rich with estrogen fueled aggression dressed in tattoos and colorful hair tainting. Our first TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls match and it was fun. We came to see Lions tear it up the way they do, fast and furious, pedal to the metal, southern sweat and heavy.

Well, the reigning champs lost the bout to The Holy Rollers, and the Lions rocked the halftime show. We have to admit, those TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls are some tough ass bitches and put on a damn entertaining show for a bunch of girls doing it for fun. We recommend you take some time out on a Sunday to check out this event.
