Profile

The dirtiest lo-fi-diy-punk-folk artist. Originating from an unprounouceable rural out back of Angelesey and rumoured to possess mysterious druid-like powers.

An imp of the perverse and pioneer of the UK anti-folk scene. Filthy can regularly be seen on the Antifolk scene in London, and has played at the New York Antifolk Festival in 2005 as well as in Toyko. Filthy has recently been joined by the multi-talented ‘Thee Intolerable Kidd’ on bass and saw.

With subject matters ranging from Lancaster Bombers to kinky tales of antiquity, he explores these obsessions with wit, humour and surprising poignancy.

Filthy Pedro was raised on the Island of the druid people. One night, as a teenager, he saw a vision .Hermes Trismagistus [thrice greatest hermes - "As above, so below"] appeared before Filthy and warned him, that if he didn't start writing dirty lo-fi music, when he died, he would be tortured for eternity with corporate pop.

After such a stark warning, Filthy packed his bags and went on a geo-musical journey, travelling through the desert of Leicester, the forest of Nottingham, the jungle of Dublin, the mountains of Sheffield and eventually arriving in merry London during the electronic goldrush.

He now desperately tries to avoid a dubious fate by writing music. This website is another brick in his effort to enjoy the garden wall of his afterlife.
