Pitchfork

I've never seen a Girl Talk live show, but his label's website tells me it's "notorious" and "semi-naked". What else would you expect from a guy who takes mash-ups to crazy levels, sometimes cramming 15 or 20 disparate songs into one, uh, unique track? Because that's what you get with this guy-- and word on the streets is, it gets pretty intense. Well, in the wake of his ridiculously great latest LP, Night Ripper, he's bringing that shit to some of America's finest metropoli. So far, it's weekends only, but expect more dates to follow.

For now, ATL, NY, and Chi, get low:

08-11 Atlanta, GA - Lenny's
08-18 New York City, NY - Mercury Lounge
09-09 Chicago, IL - Empty Bottle
