Girl Talk presented by Monozine
Just Announced + On Sale NOW!

Greg Gillis, the man behind the one man band Girl Talk, recently described his shows to Time Magazine as a “house party meets concert kind of vibe.” That’s an understatement. The writer noted that most people wouldn’t mix the rhymes of Notorious B.I.G. with the melody of Elton John’s Tiny Dancer and expect an ear-pleasing result. The musical misfit and laptop magician broke into the mainstream with his 2006 hit album Night Ripper, whose 16 tracks sampled more than 150 artists, from Abba to 2 Live Crew to Aerosmith. Come party with him January 31st.
