Guide

Gregg Gillis is Girl Talk, a one-man show, celebration extraordinaire, Case Western graduate and Pittsburgh

native. Gillis celebrated his 10th

plus year of sample-obsessed production last fall with the release of his most

epic, densely layered, and meticulously composed musical statement to date – All Day – clocking in at 71

minutes of music created by 372 samples. Girl Talk has flourished in the past four years and has played over

300 shows, hardly taking a full week off from touring. Performance highlights include the Vancouver

Olympics, large festivals such as Coachella, Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, V-Fest, Sasquatch,

Rothbury, Monolith, Planeta Terra, and trips to Australia, Japan, South America, Europe, and Mexico. Gillis

will be continuing this trend with repeat performances at the two of the most influential festivals in the United

States – Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza – both this summer. So prolific is Girl Talk, he even has his own official

holiday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on December 7th

– “Gregg Gillis Day.”

One Be Lo (a.k.a. Nahshid Sulaiman) has fashioned himself into what he describes as "the MC's MC." Having grown

up listening to the likes of KRS-One, A Tribe Called Quest, and Ice Cube, One Be Lo gained an interest in hip-hop from

an early age. Rapping and producing since his high-school days under the name One Man Army, he first made waves as

one half of Binary Star in 1998 before breaking out as a solo artist, founding the Subterraneous label/collective and

changing his name to One Be Lo in the mid-'00s. Sulaiman converted to Islam as a young man, which inspired trips to

the Middle East and his eventual move to Egypt in 2007; he now splits time between metro Detroit and Cairo. His most

recent release came in the summer of 2010 with B.A.B.Y. (Being a Black Youth), an album featuring a number of

collaborations with heavy hitters like Freeway, Devin the Dude, Phonte, Royce Da 5'9", Jean Grae, Guilty Simpson, and

even Mike Posner.

O

Oberlin’s house heroes TeenGirl Fantasy are currently coming off a huge year, one which has seen them

release their long-awaited debut LP “7AM” to widespread critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, with

everyone from Pitchfork and The Fader to Dazed and Confused and DJ Magazine becoming entranced by

their beguilingly off-kilter vein of sprawling, throbbing electronic music. The album ended up on more year-

end lists than can be counted, with Time Out even naming them one of 5 bands to watch in 2011, and the likes

of the Guardian, FACT, Juno and XLR8R selecting their genre-defying, breakthrough anthem “Cheaters” as

one of the best tracks of the year. Just as the album is one of the most beautiful and unusual things you’re

likely to hear, so their shows are also truly unmissable events, and rare opportunities to see the pair play their

music where it truly belongs – in a live setting, on a dance floor. TeenGirl Fantasy will be continuing their

hot streak with a performance this summer at the prestigious festival, All Tomorrow’s Parties.

Clark Manson – In a repeat performance, Manson plans on bringing his high-energy country with a classic

rock vibe back to campus once more.

Happi Campers - A sound scape of days gone by. Music and musicianship, maybe not at its finest, but music

nonetheless. The Campers are timely, but without meter. The Happi Campers include the greatest rhythm

section since STOMP.

Boy Talk – Boy Talk is a funky rock band with a member of every class currently at Wittenberg Freshman

through Senior.

The Drug Store Records – Hailing from nearby Yellow Springs, Ohio, the Drug Store Records provide soulful,

nostalgic American roots blues-rock.

WittFree - WittFree is an oldies band rock band, "oldies" here meaning that the group consists of old people

who happen to be Wittenberg faculty and alumni. The music can also be older--the group has a deep affection

for the Beetles--but not always.

Dragon Dance Team - The Chinese Cultural Dance Club is an organization which exists for interested students

to explore the rich and varied aspects of Chinese culture, with a focus on the many different types of Chinese

dance forms, including the Dragon Dance!

Kent Montgomery – Kent is a usual when it comes to performances around campus. His acoustic melodies are

sure to please any ear.

One Strummer and a Drummer – Colin Payton and Tucker Mindrum to provide you with your daily dose of

acoustic guitar and drums rock.

Field Day - Field Day is not your typical college band. With a unique blend of viola, cello, guitar and

voice, Field Day is definitely something different. The group plays acoustic versions of all genres and loves to

have fun with their music.

Just Eve - Just Eve is Wittenberg University's premier all-female A'Capella group. It was founded in 2001 by Witt

alumni, and since been dedicated to arranging and performing a wide set of musical styles spanning all genres.
