As the rowdy crowd chanted his name, Girl Talk, aka Gregg Gillis, took the stage in a hoodie and white bandana… and opened his laptop. Girl Talk’s set was a seamless, ever-evolving collage of samples, cutting across genres and eras as he combined top-40 gems in new ways and even rap lyrics over Rush… Girl Talk’s anarchic good-times music suited the celebratory vibe at the outdoor venue, where the crowd seemed part music nerds in dorky glasses, part sun-baked tubers in swimsuits and glowing bracelets. -[mysanantonio]
A week after Governors Ball, Girl Talk spent his Saturday (6/25) in New Braunfels, Texas (near San Antonio), playing a mashed-up set to a raucous outdoor crowd with support from “hillbilly disco” rockers Bright Light Social Hour. Pictures from that show are in this post.
The DJ/remixer will hit multiple festivals this summer and fall including Lollapalooza, and the just-mentioned Popped! Fest in Philly in September. All dates are below.
In other Girl Talk news, Greg Gillis recently made the instrumental for his track with Jim Jones and LLoyd, “Believe in Magic”, available for free download. Hear the original, alongside all tour dates and more pictures from Texas below.
