As of 12pm the 26th of November, we are happy to announce that all three Girl Talk sideshows have sold out – in just a couple days!
Australian’s know there ain’t no party like a Girl Talk dance party. Gregg Gillis, the popular mash-up mixologist who just dropped his latest “Feed the Animals,” has sold-out his recently announced sideshows at The Forum in Sydney, Prince Bandroom in Melbourne and Karova Lounge in Ballarat.
Girl Talk has been known to underground audiences for several years, but it wasn’t until 2006 that Gillis crossed over and caught the attention of a larger audience. With Rolling Stone, SPIN, Blender, Pitchfork, and even Beck including Girl Talk’s “Night Ripper” in their best albums of 2006 lists, Girl Talk has gone on to be booked by major festivals (Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Virgin, All Points West, Pitchfork, DEMF, etc.), and solicited for remixes (Beck, Thrill Jockey, Tokyo Police Club, Grizzly Bear, Simian Mobile Disco, Peter Bjorn John, TeddyBears, and Of Montreal).
With roughly 200 live shows over the last couple of years, Gillis has consistently played larger venues to capacity crowds (every date on his 2007 North American tour with Dan Deacon SOLD OUT). It seems that Australia in 2009 is no different.
You can still catch the hyperkinetic mashup show that is Girl Talk at the St Jerome’s Laneway Festival – details below.
