Inaugural event for 888shows leads an all-women lineup to the peak of takeover
With the first of many events ahead for 888shows lead by Girl Parts, their inaugural beginning to the music scene happened before the weekend started. The showcase, titled “No Boys Allowed,” is an all-girl lineup featuring names like There Goes My Baby, L1L4NG3L, Astasia, Love, Yona & more. The start time was different from your ordinary scheduled event, but I think that’s what set the stage for an unexpected twist to a memorable night. Starting with such a plethora of versatile performances set the mood, especially while attendees made their way into the doors. It was significantly channeled by the wonderful host, Sacred Fantasy, whose intro to each artist set a powerful tone heard throughout the entire event. It was an incredible night celebrating talented women in music across different genres. Performers like Ashley Rodriguez, Nilaray, Ashaunté, Girl Parts & more bless the audience of Snake Hill Social Club with their uniquely beautiful music in soul-clutching moments that you witness a vital part of their talents seen in a magnificent manner. Take Ashuanté’s performance, where in the middle of performing, she became emotional singing the lyrics to her ballad “With You,” which is a personable moment to share with her fans since you know she shared something intimate with listeners, something most artists won’t share.
888shows was recently introduced as a female-organized event company for gays and girls. It also created a safe environment for everyone 18+ to enjoy music and have a fantastic experience to remember forever, described perfectly on their Instagram page. While every show has its own bumps and hiccups, it never seems to affect the outcome. I can say firsthand it was an enjoyable experience and such a delight to see these woman showcasing their unique talents and abilities. Creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone to enjoy music is so important, and it's great to hear that 888shows is dedicated to that mission. Events like these are crucial in fostering community and providing memorable experiences for all attendees. We recommend the next show they announce is something you attend and bring friends and even family to witness something incredible. Events like these are essential to the scene and progress in showing growth that will only improve from here—expected greatness and nothing less.
