Many who attended the first Rippin' & Rollin' had one of the best nights of their lives, now you've got another chance to find out what all the hype is about! Come experience an immersive live music & skating event at the second installment of Rippin’ & Rollin’ at Skate South on July 27th! Bands will perform in the middle of the rink floor, while audience members get to skate around them and enjoy Skate South’s surround sound PA and lighting system, or witness it all from the fully-amplified standing/seating area. This edition will feature performances from Tires and Glitter Density, with in-between jams of the highest quality provided by DJ Uncle Willy. Doors will open at 8:45, tickets are $16 in advance/ $19 day-of-show. Ages 18 and older, or younger teens must be accompanied by an adult.Tires: A mostly instrumental 4-piece from Des Moines, IA, Tires is experimental electronic noise that is pounding, driven, and chaotic. Expertly mashing together glitchy, synth-laden electronic tapestries with the human element of live guitars and drums, Tires dances on the line between melodic and abrasive. These rich sonic foundations build from hypnotic meditations into driving, triumphant, instrumental rock anthems that will provide a perfect soundtrack for a late-night adult skate.

Glitter Density: Bubblegum pop-rock duo from Des Moines, IA. Glitter Density’s music radiates joy and love with a sound clearly steeped in a lifelong friendship. With clever lyrics that traverse the spectrum of heart-on-their-sleeve emotions, packaged within undeniably infectious hooks, if you can make it through a Glitter Density set without a smile on your face, I would seek immediate medical attention. Since their members left town a few years ago, it's a rare and beautiful treat when they perform together, so don't miss your chance to catch them in this dreamy setting!

DJ Uncle Willy: Raised in the roller rink since birth, and finely seasoned in the streets and clubs of New York City, DJ Uncle Willy aka Willy Muse is the king of vibes, the boss of beats, and the shaman of booty shakers. Come witness his return to his natural habitat as he spins everything from classic rink jams to modern bops that will have you rolling past the booth yelling “what was that song?!”
