Filkoe @ Chop Suey

Man, only in the Pacific Northwest (and especially at an anticon. show) would you see an MC sporting a P.W. Elverum & Sun t-shirt and rapping about endangered species of animals. So very Cascadia! That was opening MC Filkoe, who delivered educational (and emotional!) rhymes about wolves, lemurs, toucans, and ocelots, his raps dripping with sincere concern and stuffed with Wikipedia facts. Filkoe himself looked a little bit like an animal—maybe a beaver? some kind of rodent—with his rounded, bearded face, his upper teeth showing, and the long torso and sleeves of his baggy t-shirt making his arms and legs look short like paws. He could really take this show on the road to the elementary schools, get himself some grant money, and buy some plush-ass animal costumes or something. He ended his set with a pretty anemic round of freestyles with some of his buddies. - Eric Grandy from The Stranger

Bio
Filkoe trades his sample based backround beats, for an haunted baritone ukulele. He keeps rhythm plucks and strums simple chords, while using his cosmic net to pull in the randomness and shape post-punk. indie weirdo rap, anti-folk psychedelia...
