Girl Talk
Saturday, November 28 at 9 p.m.
Genre: DJ
Age: 18+
Girl Talk is the pseudonym of DJ and remixer Greg Gillis. A Pittsburgh native who used to work as a biomedical research engineer during the day, Gillis channels his other creative energies into Girl Talk, whose sample-based dance tracks have made him the John Oswald or Christian Marclay of the mash-up generation.
Each of his songs is built on recognizable samples of recent hit singles, reconstructed into an entirely new piece. Not just a geeky studio boffin, Gillis is also a manic, intense live performer known for his high-speed exhortations into the mic and tendency to strip to his underwear on-stage while dancing circles around his laptop and DJ setup.
Tickets are available at the box office at the House of Blues or online at ticketmaster.com.
