In September 2006 Ladies First was created as a platform to showcase the musical and artistic talent of Women in the community.
Ladies First gave female deejays, artists, and performers a place where they could have freedom of expression, play music they wanted to play, create what they wanted to see, and say what they felt needed to be heard.
Ladies First showcased established artists, but also gave new artists the opportunity to transition from behind the scenes--to on the stage, with the support and encouragement of others who had met the same challenges.
Originally a monthly event at Kettle & Keg in Fullerton, Ladies First has developed into a traveling revue, invited by other venues to collaborate on special nights. To date, Ladies First has since united with eVocal, Plush Lounge, Bridges, L.A.S.C., The Flyball, The Hip Hop Underground Network, and most recently Nikita! We hope Ladies First continues to leave a positive lasting impression, on all who come to experience it!
Thursday July 9th Ladies First will be in Huntington Beach at Sandbox Sports Bar!!! Come thru, dance with us, have a drink, sit back and enjoy the music!! DJ's Giangstar, Evoke, and Michelle Q will be playing what they love: hip hop, old school, r&b, funk, disco, and soulful house!!! Hope to see you there!!!
