That’s right, the Rollergirls are holding tryouts on Monday. This is your chance to become part of a legend. Who can pass that up? You must be female, 21 or older, and extremely dedicated. And it can’t hurt if you’re able to stand up on skates.

It’s that time again, and we’re a little embarrassed to admit that we’ve been looking forward to this moment all year long: It’s the Scene’s 19th Annual “You Are So Nashville If…” contest. This is the time when our true Nashvillian colors come out and the world (or at least the part of it that [...]

Earlier tonight, Preds Chairman David Freeman finally issued a statement in response to William “Boots” Del Biaggio’s bankruptcy woes. Boots has had a rough week after being slapped with three enormous lawsuits and a federal investigation, and we were worried because he owns almost a third of our precious Preds. Anyway, the gist:

Last night, Nashvillest headed out to see the Nashville Rollergirls take on the B-Funk All Stars at the Southern Hospital-ity roller derby event featuring DJ Fat Andy.
