In a world full of Blaines, he’s just a Ducky.

MC Chris talks like he raps — quickly, and frequently about G.I. Joe. The former voice of Hesh on Adult Swim’s Sealab 2021 and MC Pee Pants on Aqua Teen Hunger Force started swelling the ranks of his geek army when “Fett’s ‘Vette” and “I Want Candy” aired on the two cartoons respectively. Now he stands at the helm of a fanbase dedicated enough to lend him a pitch-perfect Boba Fett costume last Halloween that he wore to the Playboy Mansion party in order to fulfill a longstanding fantasy of nerds everywhere — involving a 19-year-old in a Princess Leia metal bikini and a surreptitious trip to the woods.

Though other geek-powered performers have captured the aesthetics of the subculture, few seem to have touched on the alienation (“Freaks”) or the rage and revenge fantasies (“Geek,” “Peer Gynt”), putting Chris in position as one of the first champions of the misunderstood: The Jackie Robinson of nerds. (Although we think his stolen base totals from last season were a little low.)

He recently dropped his fifth album, MC Chris is Dead, as an independent release, and will join Warped Tour on Friday. First though, he has a 7 p.m. stop in town at Jillian’s (450 Fremont St.). We spoke with him about his tumultuous relationship with nerdcore, his ever-expanding geek bucket list and working with Neko Case on a unicorn-centric show. Click for more words and pictures »
