"EXCUSE ME?! GIRL TALK AT TERMINAL 5?!?! TONIGHT????
WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS?!?!" - Shaina
"I hate everyone that got Terminal 5 Girl Talk tickets. I hate you." - Al
"It's like woah at Girl Talk @ Terminal 5" - Amber Roussel

Girl Talk kicked off the second leg of his 2011 tour at a sold-out Terminal 5 in NYC last night (2/24). The first leg ended at Wellmont Theater earlier this month.
Max Tundra and Junk Culture (who both also played Glasslands on Wednesday) are opening all dates through March 23rd. That includes last night, though we missed them. Pictures from Girl Talk's set are in this post though.
$75 "Early Bird Tickets" went on sale yesterday for the Governors Ball, the new fest coming to Governors Island that will feature a co-headlining set by Gregg Gillis. It's unclear how many tickets were in the "Early Bird" allotment, but they are already sold out. $85 "Limited Advance Tickets" are on sale now. They eventually go up to $95 each.
More pictures from Terminal 5 below...

It's a good thing I didn't notice GT's outfit at the show last night. I would have felt odd rocking out to a guy wearing fleece sweatpants. Rock stars don't wear sweatpants on stage.
Posted by Scott | February 25, 2011 10:39 AM
he's playing with Empire of the Sun, Pretty Lights, Big Boi and a bunch of others, so $95 isn't really bad at all. And regarding GT's outfit - it was incredibly silly. But the guy can rock out.

between being at beach house on wednesday, and seeing the photos of this show, i've come to realize that people who comment on this site hate bands that attract tons of girls.
think about it - any show that is not a fervent sausage fest gets tons of hateful comments. i think i'm onto something here.

The $95 ticket is for Governors Ball with Pretty Lights, Girl Talk, Empire of the Sun, Miami Horror, Big Boi, Neon Indian and others. Last night was $30.
It was a hot, sweaty dance party last night. Hate all you want but it was fun as hell.

10:41, its simple. Girls generally have terrible taste in music.
Posted by Anonymous | February 25, 2011 10:45 AM
$95 basically for a bunch of dj's + one rapper and a couple synth-pop bands. I'm not saying it isn't good music. I'm saying you're being taken for a ride. A long, slow, hot, crowded ferry ride. Have fun!

I fucked a bitch last night hotter than probably any pig at this show. It was hot and sweaty and fun as hell. AND i did not have to be at Terminal Shit listening to this crappy guy pluck away at his computer.
Guess I win 10:43.
Also, isn't it obvious that any place where someone tweets that "it is woah here" is probably the last place anyone cool should be.

@ 10:46, Maybe the ferry ride will be a dance party too!! Woot wooot!

Girl Talk ticket was $30. Pretty Lights at T5 was $35. Empire of the Sun at T5 was $45. Big Boi at T5 was $45.
$85-$95 for Governors Ball is pretty fair, i would say.

All I'm saying is 7.5 inches

Yeah, and at least you don't have to go to T5, which is worth that much and more.
Still the "add it up" festival argument is always a loser. Of course it's cheaper to see 10 bands play than pay for each on individually. But $95? It's just TOO MUCH to pay to see THESE GUYS do what they do. Especially when it's a pain in the ass to get to and from the place. You're going to spend LITERALLY half your day standing in line, whether it's for the ferry, food or beer. $60 would be pretty perfect $75 was a little high, but ok. But $95???
But seriously, have a good time.

did people really pay to lean on the rails or sit and "watch" GT. I wasnt there and wouldnt be but the only pont to go to these shows is to rage, or possibly roll and find another tweak chic to violate

terminal 5 is an oversold fuck-fest of total and complete suck. girl talk's crowd is essentially jason mraz fans who think afrika bambaataa is the new ethiopian restaurant down the block.
that said, i'm sure it was a lovely time.
for me to poop on.

no offense to this girl talk d00d but that just looks like a typical UES bar on any given weekend (i.e., horrible and for kids)
the draw just appears to be "pretend you're on spring break"

Man, this guy must make a fucking fortune. Talk about having absolutely zero overhead. No roadies, no guitar techs, nothing.
Just gotta pay for a good balloon guy, I guess.

Insert snarky/envious comment here.
Now that that's through, it's pretty amazing what this guy does to chop up popular tunes into something interesting yet understandible. It's also pretty crazy how many lawyers are stacked up to litigate for this guy.

last night was fun. you don't try to make it anything more than what it is...a fun dance fest. that's it.
it's a nice change from a show where nyc crowds stand there, arms crossed, subtly moving their head to the music.

Yea that's what I meant. They want to pounce on that shizna hard because they know they could win. Fair use arguments or whatever. Ba dun dun dun dun dun dun dun da >*tch*< NOT Ba duUn dun dun dun dun dun dun da. See? it's different.

$95 is fine for the suckers that wanna pay. But think about this:
Girl Talk: Did a free show 2 years ago at Pool Party
Neon Indian: Free show, Governor's island last year, along with CMJ performances etc
Big Boi: if you knew someone at NYU you could've gone for free.
I could care less about the other acts.

^ I agree. Would've been cool to see GT for the first time, but I wasn't about to pay a ridiculous amount for it.
