Our story begins as Ford Pier emerges fully-formed from the skulls of a
music teacher and a librarian in Boston, Massachusetts some time last
century. One day, while the maternal figure is watching the Watergate
coverage on television, he overhears Walter Cronkite's words "...Ford
is now president," and bursts into tears, crying that he's not ready
for the responsibility. The family moves to Edmonton, Alberta in Canada
soon after.
OK skip ahead. over the next
not-so-few years Ford played in a whirlwind of memorable Canadian
bands, just check this list: Jr.Gone Wild, Roots Roundup, The Showbusiness Giants, The Tonics, Tankhog, The Hardrock Miners, and D.O.A. to
name a few. Since 1996 Ford has been the guitarist for Vancouver
songwriter Veda Hille, and has, since 1994 had the same superlatively
capable rhythm section for his own live performances and these would be
fellow ex-Roots guys David Macanulty on Drums and Keith Rose on Bass.
Whew.
On his Sudden Death release 12-Step Plan, 11-Step Pier Ford Pier
stitches together a lurching, howling frankenstein's monster of a
record from the deseased tissue of all conventional musical forms.
