FEMALES ON FIRE: The Los Angeles Women's Music Festival 2007
Celebrating women in music and the men and women who love them, the
first annual Los Angeles Women's Music Festival will be held at
Woodley Park, Encino, CA on Sat. Aug. 25, 2007, from 10AM-6PM.
Featuring Sophie B. Hawkins, BETTY, Klymaxx, Patrice Pike, Los
Abandoned, SONiA of Disappear Fear, Brasil Brazil, SheJay DJs and many
other talented artists, the event is both a ground-breaking women's
music festival and a benefit for animal rescue.
Despite the success and popularity of Lilith Fair and other women's
music festivals around the country, this is the first festival of its
kind in Los Angeles, the heart of the music industry. The support for
and response to this year's festival has been overwhelmingly positive.
As one fan put it, "I love music - and I love women!" Held at Woodley
Park, home of WorldFest, with power provided by eSolar and with vegan,
vegetarian and organic food, pet adoptions, children's activities, a
healing arts tent and more, this is an eco-music festival with fun for
the whole family.
As a major part of The Los Angeles Women's Music Festival we are
hosting pet adoptions with animal rescue groups from Los Angeles. By
bringing them out on a beautiful Saturday in August where there will
be a huge community of like minded, compassionate human beings, we
will be offering the chance of a loving home to many of the animals.
Volunteers and donations for this aspect of the festival are greatly
appreciated. The following rescue organizations are participating in
the festival: Bunny Luv Rescue, Cat Connection, Death Row Dogs Rescue,
Forte Animal Rescue, K9 Connection, World Heart Foundation, Heaven on
Earth Society for Animals, Boxer Rescue-LA, Lhasa Happy Homes Rescue,
and Villalobos Rescue Center.
50+ Bands * 5 Stages * 5000 Fans
The festival has already booked 65 female performers and
female-fronted bands from around the world, representing all genres of
music. Bands will play from 10-6 on five stages including the SheJay
dance tent with DJ Lillyanne, DJ Syrena, Raistalla, DJ Diosa, Holly
Adams, Sirsa, and DJ-duo MIAmor and SyrEhN. Other activities include
raffles to win a guitar from Daisy Rock and other prizes, an open mic,
