Kid Koala
(FUN HIPHOP) I have written elsewhere that what hiphop lacks in our day and age is a sense of humor. In the past, groups like Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew and Public Enemy included clowns in their shows (Slick Rick and Flavor Flav, respectively). These days, only a few in the underground scene maintain a sense of humor, and one of those few is Kid Koala, a funny, funky, and gifted turntablist from Montreal. Kid Koala, who has cut records for Deltron 3030 and Gorillaz, also produces comic books. (Neumo’s, 925 E Pike St, 709-9467. 8 pm, $13 adv/$15 DOS, 21+.) CHARLES MUDEDE
don't forget the Digital Underground....
The show was insane. I knew he was good, but good enough to mix Slayer, Autechre, and Arcade Fire in one set? And make it sound natural? Crazy.
He also put on a hilarious cooking demo.
And don't forget Sir Mix-a-lot and the Beastie Boys. They put out some funny tracks as well.
