Girl Talk tickets

Everyone's favorite sampling artist, Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis) is back in town for a show on Tuesday, March 8th. Last time Girl Talk was in town First Avenue tickets were super super sold out and difficult to find. When First Avenue tickets go on sale in a few days be sure to buy them as soon as possible.

Who is Girl Talk? Girl Talk is a dude and his laptop. He takes snippets from thousands of songs and mixes them together - basically a successful DJ. Everyone calls Girl Talk "a lawsuit waiting to happen," however I believe every part of the songs he uses are under 30 seconds. From what little information I understand about copyright law, if you sample less than 30 seconds of a song you do not have to pay royalty fees. It must be the case because otherwise Girl Talk would need to be a multi millionaire to pay for all his royalties.

Girl Talk is currently touring in support of "Feed the Animals" which he released in June. Some of his shows this past summer included fireworks, sadly I don't think First Avenue can have fireworks. I know I don't want my belived concert venue to go up in flames! First Avenue tickets for Girl Talk go on sale now. See you at the show!


Not your average Girl Talk!
