81 -- Girl Talk -- Tuesday, February 2, 2011 -- 9:30 Club -- DC

So many people had raved about Girl Talk before the show. Mike Vance, Mike Erickson, Andrew Schmadel, Sara Rutter, Matt Decarlo, and Katie Stanhagen had all sworn that DJ Gregg Gillis puts on an incredible live show. After finally seeing him at the 9:30 Club, I had to agree. Lights pulsed, beats thumped, hundreds of white yuppies shouted gangsta rap…it was pretty funny. As with Gogol Bordello, there was no deep emotional connection, but it was nice to be invited to a rockin’ party. Every few minutes something new would be added to the party: multicolored balloons would be dropped, multicolored confetti would be sprayed, and three enormous rubber cylinders would be launched at audience members’ faces! Whether the cylinders hit you or not, you could chuck it across the room into someone else! So yeah, Girl Talk was a good time. :)
