Girl Talk playing Bamboozle (and other dates), pay what you want for Illegal Art

Girl Talk

Girl Talk‘s label Illegal Art is offering all of the Girl Talk albums, and their entire catalog, as pay-what-you-wish downloads. Not all of the label’s back catalog is up, but there is a release schedule (below) for the yet-to-be uploaded (including Girl Talk’s debut Secret Diary). The label is also offering Gillis’s 2006 break-out album Night Ripper for the first time on vinyl on December 8th.

With that news is also the news that Gregg Gillis will be at Meadowlands Sports Complex on May 2nd. That’s the second night of the Bamboozle fest, which is being headlined by the recently-sidelined Weezer. Either the festival is becoming more diverse or the artists are appealing to a bigger fan base. The headliner for night one (consistent with what we know about Bamboozle) is Paramore (at least I think they are one of the headliners). As previously mentioned, tickets are on sale Friday.

Girl Talk’s other upcoming US show is a sold-out New Year’s Eve gig at Chicago’s Congress Theater. He plays Australia and New Zealand this January. All dates and the Illegal Art Pay What You Wish release schedule are below…
