Remember hearing about the awesome festival taking place on NYC’s Governers Island on June 18, 2011? Well, in preparation for this inaugural event, the Governors Ball is very excited to announce their 2011 artist interview series. Over the next few weeks, they will be rolling out interviews with artists performing at their festival. First up is Gregg Gillis, a.k.a. Girl Talk! He discusses how he wants his audience to “lose their minds” at his shows and how he always aspires to “musically engage” his live audiences. But enough of my blabbering, you can see the interview for yourself right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09_uRy29BHg&feature=player_embedded
