Girl Talk on Tour
Girl Talk (aka Pittsburgh's Gregg Gillis) has been constructing meticulous sample-based music since 2000. His early work was known for its raw experimental nature, but by the release of his 2006 album, Night Ripper, that style evolved into genre-smashing, breakneck-paced party jams. Night Ripper consisted of over 300 songs, from wildly disparate Top 40 genres and eras, mashed up and layered together into one cohesive collage. It received critical acclaim, and the attention resulted in a rapidly growing fan base. Gillis ended up quitting his biomedical engineering day job one year later.
Girl Talk continued to develop his signature style with the release of Feed the Animals in 2008 and All Day in 2010. Each album grew increasingly detailed and complex. He steadily toured over the following years, bringing his renowned confetti-covered and sweat-soaked performances to venues ranging from house party basements to major festivals. By 2014, Gillis began focusing on collaborative work producing hip hop for some of his favorite rap artists. That same year, he released "Broken Ankles," an EP with Freeway. Since "Broken Ankles", Gillis has steadily earned an impressive list of production credits and collaborations with his artistic contemporaries including, but not limited to, Wiz Khalifa, T-Pain, Tory Lanez, Young Nudy, Bas, Cozz, Erick The Architect (from Flatbush Zombies), Smoke DZA, and Don Q. Over the course of his career, Girl Talk has packed venues such as Buckhead Theatre (Atlanta), Stage AE (Pittsburgh), and Saint Andrews Hall (Detroit) to capacity.
Girl Talk was amazing - had never seen him live. He brings such amazing energy, as well as humor, to his performance. A smaller venue might be more suited to his show - I sat in the balcony which was very empty compared the floor. I only saw one song of Senior Discount - I wasn't impressed at all.
Girl talk was an interesting concert. My friend and I went because we had heard that it was a good, entertaining concert. Needless to say, we were surprised when we got there that it was primarily an under 21 audience. He starts the show by projecting words and phrases on the screen and doesn't actually make an appearance until 45 minutes after the opening act. After waiting an impossibly long time for him to show his face for the first time, I wasn't exactly amused when the words on the screen read "fuck you all". The show itself consisted of teenagers jumping around on stage while Girltalk hunched over his computer. Oh... and there was toilet paper being blown around... everywhere. Review in summary: great beats, talented guy, but the concert itself was more like an under 21 club .
Girl Talk was possibly the best concert I have ever been to! Absolutely amazing...
I would have to say this was the Best Dance Party Ever!! I would definitely go again!
Best concert I've ever been to. Felt like I was at a rave.
Best party ever! Can't wait until the next show...
This is the first concert I've ever gone to and I must say it couldn't have been a better first concert experience. I would definitely tell anyone who asked that if they want to have a concert experience that's also like a massive dance party then girl talk is definitely the way to go! It was amazing!
GT was super fun as always. Kind of a short show, but we got on stage so it was worth it,
GirlTalk was incredible, obviously. Senior Discount however was distasteful, horrific in fact.
Seriously amazing, dude. It was a freaking Monday in thirty degree weather and I had a paper and problem sets to do when I got back, but by the end of that show, it felt like it was summer in Cancun. The crowd was wild, the show was epic, and the H.O.B. was a great venue. God, I highly recommend this show - it really is your best clubbing experience on crack.
Girl Talk is funny, whitty and super entertaining.
Unbelievable show. Saw Girl Talk when the venue was Avalon and was amazing but this topped even that.. Energy was amazing and overall one of the most entertaining concerts I've been to.
easily one of the best concerts ive ever been to. best way to spend a night. gregg gillis=the boss
Great event! Wish I could go to a concert like this every weekend!
So amazing. Only wish is that he showed up on time. And that it would have lasted all night.
Getting to be on stage for the entire show was by far the most amazing part! Loved the energy, loved the music, loved everything!
Totally worth it. Great show, great set- amazing live!
The showbox theater in Seattle may have some structural problems after greg gillis blew the roof off the join on monday the 21st. Junk Culture threw down a pretty amazing set with his absurdly talented drummer to warm up a sold out crowd. Everyone was well prepared for Girltalk to blow out the speakers with his ridiculous mashups and pounding bass. Well done to both acts and to the throng of people who spent the entirety of GT's set onstage dancing.
Such a high energy show! He is such a humble entertainer and I would go see him again in a second. He kept the crowd involved and you could tell he was having just as good of a time as anyone else at the show.
The show was absolutly amazing. It was more than i ever expected. The way that he mixed the songs together totally rocked my world! Shout will never sound the same for me.
