'Girl Talk' At SLU April 11

CANTON - D.J. Greg Gillis, better known as "Girl Talk," will perform at St. Lawrence University's Leithead Fieldhouse on Saturday, April 11, at 10 p.m.; doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets, at $15 per person or $5 with student I.D., are available beginning March 23 at Brewer Bookstore and the Student Center Information Desk on campus and at prettypolly.tickets.musictoday.com online.

Girl Talk does not include instruments or musicians. Instead, Gillis uses his laptop to "mash up" segments of popular songs into dance mixes. One mix: Chicago ("Saturday in the Park"), the Beach Boys ("God Only Knows"), ? & the Mysterians ("96 Tears"), Rick Springfield ("Jessie's Girl"), Elton John ("Tiny Dancer"), Elvis Costello ("Pump It Up"), Sinéad O'Connor ("Nothing Compares 2 U"), Van Halen ("Jump"), Quad City DJs ("C'mon 'n Ride It") and Kelly Clarkson ("Since You've Been Gone"). The 2008 album Feed The Animals combines more than 300 samples in 50 minutes.
