I don’t think the lesbian scene in Calgary has ever been so amazing! Les Girls, a major producer of ladies-for-ladies events in Calgary, brings us another party night that is bound to sell-out! On July 20th, ladies are invited to join hundreds of other ladies for Break the Bank presented by Les Girls at The Bank on 8th.

Amanda Priolo and Julie Mercier, the creators and executors of Les Girls appear to have outdone themselves with their promising 5th event.  "Expect to have a great night with some amazing women," says Priolo. "It is a safe and welcoming environment, and everyone is there for a good time. This isn’t a regular night at the bar; this night has been created for you."

Over the past 2 years of the group’s existence, Les Girls has established a reputation for creating quality ladies events. They also strive to offer a venue for top female DJ’s from around Canada and the USA. As a female-only event, the DJ’s create an environment that is geared solely for its audience.

This time around, The Bank on 8th, is playing host to the event, and this promises to be an exciting partnership. "We are excited to work with such a premiere night club. It is fantastic to have a club like that take a chance on us. They have really stepped above and beyond for our event and to cater to our community," adds Mercier.

You may never have heard of The Bank on 8th, but it has a rich history. Originally built as the Bank of Nova Scotia in 1929, it has played host to clubs The Cha Cha Palace (a gay club), The Banke, and Ricoco’s Restaurant. It still boasts the same grandeur interior from 1929, with 36 foot high ceilings and marble floors.

This setting will mix well with the entertainment Les Girls is bringing in for Break the Bank, including dancers and a stage show, as well as music from Miss Erika Dee from L.A., Blair Van Riesen, and other local DJ’s.

Tickets for the event are only $10.00, and are available at Grass Roots and Dick and Janes, with a limited amount of tickets kept at the door to be sold on the night of the event.  There is also an opportunity to purchase VIP bottle service, but those tickets are limited. Priolo is adamant about getting your tickets early, however. "We have been overwhelmed with interest for the event, and as a result our tickets have been flying out the door."

As any community event goes, success is in part due to the contribution of supporters. Mercier adds, "Big thanks to the community for their past and continued support. Our patrons are amazing and continue to support us. Our past success has been amazing, and with your support we can now secure an amazing venue such as The Bank on 8th."
