Who ever thought you would see the day when the words Playgirl, Newsweek and Paris Hilton could all be used in one of our press releases? In true Girl Talk fashion, he never ceases to amaze. Girl Talk was also a hit at this month’s Bonnaroo Festival and the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona.

As usual, Gillis had a crew of dancers join him on stage, with gigantic bright yellow balloons tied to their wrists. Girl Talk was one of the highlights of this year’s Coachella festival ( VIDEO), with Paris Hilton (mere weeks before her incarceration!) and Perry Farrell dancing alongside him and throwing confetti. The duo has already completed one remix for Tokyo Police Club, and has many more in the works including tracks for Simian Mobile Disco and Professor Murder. Gillis’s resignation also granted him the opportunity to go on tour with Dan Deacon, more flexibility to perform at special events during the week and also more time to work on Trey Told ‘Em, a band he started with friend and collaborator Frank Musarra ( Hearts of Darknesses). Also, there's a chance he'll be able to do a more thorough/actual tour involving multiple consecutive shows!” “However, there have been a number of uniquely awesome opportunities that have been impossible because they took place during the week. There's something awesome about only playing on the weekends, and we'd like to do our best to keep that going,” Hunt says. I think I'm extremely lucky to be in the position I am in now, where I can dedicate at least a year of my life to music and stay afloat.”Īccording to Gillis’ booking agent Sam Hunt at The Windish Agency, “It shouldn't have too great of an impact on his live schedule. Music has always been my main interest, but I never really thought of it as a possible career. I keep getting sick because I'm in a constant state of running somewhere else. “I couldn't keep up with both worlds,” Gillis says. Gillis recently was granted the freedom to do the above mentioned things, as he recently resigned from his job as a biomedical engineer that up until now has also kept him from taking on more remix projects and touring on a regular basis.

Levy and Congressman Doyle flew to Pittsburgh to meet Gillis at local hot dog joint Franktuary to discuss Doyle’s recent statements supporting Girl Talk’s sample based music on the floor of Congress. What some might find even funnier is the fact that Gillis ate hot dogs with Newsweek journalist Steven Levy and Congressman Mike Doyle shortly after the Playgirl piece hit stands. She didn’t know I was in it, she was just browsing.

When discussing what he likes to do in his free time, Gillis says, “I enjoy swimming, playing basketball, lighting off fireworks, snacking it out, and bro’n down.” About the issue, Gillis says, “I didn't know it was out, and a friend actually spotted it in a women's restroom at this pretty dive-y bar in Pittsburgh. Although you’re more likely to see Gillis strip down to his skivvies at a Girl Talk show, half a million people saw Gillis exposed in June’s “Man of The Year” issue of Playgirl Magazine.
