Ok, so maybe you've never heard of Girl Talk...?
Actually, he is one guy, Gregg Gillis, born & raised in Pittsburgh! (you know how I LOOVE all things Pittsburgh!) But he tours nationwide and several other countries as the mash-up & digital sampling artist known as Girl Talk. Incidentally, here is a quote from him on why he picked that name:
"I wanted to pick a name that the overly serious, borderline academic type electronic musicians would be embarrassed to play with. You know Girl Talk sounded exactly the opposite of a man playing a laptop, so that’s what I chose."
So, Janae & I headed down to the North Shore for the show & a night-out, first we went to McFadden's and met up with our friends Amanda & JK who were going to the Pirates game & Boyz 2 Men concert after. We hung with them for a while, then we met up with our friends Matt & Jen for the GT show.
After a long wait in line with drunk college kids wearing Dayglo, we made it into the show! The opening act was fun... but then the real show began! Girl Talk shows are so much fun and I highly recommend you attend the next chance you get. The crowd is crazy excited and you hear everything from brand new artists, to songs that are 40 years old, all mashed into a crazy dance party. Doesn't matter if it's Elton John or Wiz Khalifa or Miley Cyrus or Black Sabbath, it's all put into the Girl Talk blender and cheesy magic is poured out! LMAO!
I took some pics and a short video. Once I got home & saw how great the video & sound had turned out, I wish I would have shot more. I thought for sure all you would hear was bass..
