WHAT IS FILO?

FILO was founded by Luke Wyatt and James Brophy. The name FILO stands for Friendly Intervention Liberation Organization. The acronym FILO reminds us, conveniently, of filo (or phyllo) dough, which bakes into innumerable flaky layers. Our intake lens has baked into something similar: we appreciate experience through many layers of irony and parentheses, and spit it back out with these new tags attached. Another FILO imperative is healing the gap between hot and cold or funny/beautiful expression. We believe that Sly and the Family Stone and Graham Greene do not represent antagonistic aesthetic values.

This site intends to express our baklava sensibility. It is a clearinghouse and outlink node for all things FILO.

For people looking for information about Big Gold Belt: we are developing an area on this website dedicated to BGB. For now, you can email questions here.

I have begun posting 10 minute slices of BLOWBACK: Season One on FILO's YouTube as I compress them, starting with Episode Three. DVD's of the first two episodes are available on this site, of course.

Kohoutek's "Expansive Headache" out now on Music Fellowship. Luke plays guitar on this record and mixed it (up). Features a nice cover by Carolina Mayorga .
