Biography: The Fargo Moorhead Derby Girls are North Dakota’s first and longest-running roller derby collective. Since 2009, FMDDG has built a culture of grit, teamwork, and community empowerment. The league operates as a nonprofit with a mission to foster skills in athletics, leadership, and community service, while maintaining a competitive edge with two home teams: the Northern Pains and the Furies. FMDDG joined the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) early in the league’s history, contributing to the growth and visibility of derby in the upper Midwest.
Discography Highlights: As a derby team, FMDDG focuses on competitive bout records, travel tournament results, and clinics over traditional music releases. Highlights include hosting and competing in Midwest Derby events, showcasing coaching clinics, and regional tournament play (Bozeman, MT; Fort Wayne, IN). The league’s culture centers on athletic performance, mentorship, and community outreach rather than studio releases.

Carlson Coliseum in Fargo against the Dirty Ores, a double-header on Oct 4, 2025 at the Empire Sports Complex, and a July 1, 2025 Meet & Greet at the Fargo Public Library.
