GIRL TALK, the alter ego of Gregg Gillis who specializes in mashup music (read: music samples remixed) , was seen performing at the Montreal Jazz Festival on stage and in the streets. Known for his surprising antics on stage, Girl Talk hijacked his own set and went on performing in the streets equipped with a laptop, wireless speaker, and portable, eh, desk(?) as people partied on, Boing Boing writes.
Excerpt:
Mashup legend Girl Talk hijacked his own set at the Montreal Jazz Festival last month. Towards the end of his set, he walked out of the auditorium and set up his laptop in the parking lot with two 200W speakers powered by a generator. 400 people converged on the lot while Girl Talk did another set, open air, no permit, while the cops looked on in bewildered amusement.
Here’s a video clip capturing the event, which was posted on OpenSourceCinema.org.
