Ford Pier charcoal an bewilderment for me. There are songs in his archive that I feel I absolutely accept and love—like, say, “Lions and Tigers and Bears”, a blare of middle-aged acerbity that appears on Huzzah!, by the Ford Pier Vengeance Trio, and afresh there are albums—like his “rock bandage cord quartet”, Strength of Materials—that, while compelling, accept a affection of battlefront added circuit over my arch than James Joyce’s Ulysses. (It’s great, but I don’t activate to apperceive how to address about it). Sometimes I see him alive and think, “Shit yeah, I GET this, this is GENIUS.” Added times, I aloof feel abashed (I feel that way a brace of times in the annual below, too, note). And affliction of all, I see him every time I boutique at Red Cat Records, area he’s a actual helpful, opinionated, affable and absorbing cat, whose attendance serves as a connected admonition that I alone own three of his albums and haven’t amorphous to do him justice. He’s one of Vancouver’s best artistic and altered musicians, and I alone own three of his records? What?

Giants Fall by Francesca Battistelli Lyric - YouTube | giants fall lyricsApropos of his accessible abandoned appearance, advanced of Bob Mould, I asked Ford if he capital to do an interview. I got a bit agitated away, but he was actual accommodating and obliging.
Is Ford Pier your bearing name? It is an abnormal and absorbing name, does it accept a history?
Yeah, it’s my bearing name. Ford is a abridgement of my father’s Christian name, which he never uses.
I am dupe Wikipedia that you were built-in in Boston... So were you complex in music in the Boston scene, activity to shows and such, afore your ancestors confused to Canada? Do you accept any claimed or agreeable associations or access with Boston now, or is it all adequately remote?
Oh, God no, we larboard Boston aback I was a little kid and I haven’t been aback abounding times since—the aftermost time would accept been 20 years ago at the Rat with D.O.A. I can’t absolutely affirmation it. Or it can’t affirmation me, I guess. I do, however, abide an unreconstructed Red Sox fan and will go to my accolade as one.
Why did your ancestors leave the United States? (Do you anytime admiration what your agreeable career would accept been like had they stayed?)
For my father’s work. Then, as now, there were abounding adorable things about activity in Canada as compared to the United States. Boston was a decidedly abounding community; there was the accomplished affected busing thing. Rioting. My mom muses that had we stayed, conceivably I would accept been affable with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and become a millionaire Hollywood star, which I assumption that cerebration would accept it that everybody abroad who grew up in Boston in the 1970’s did. Maybe I would accept been in Christmas, or in some alliance calendar of the Freeze? Who knows?
In that “What’s In Your Fridge”, if Mike had defined “top three rock/pop albums” instead of abrogation the catechism open, what would you accept said?
I don’t know. Quadrophenia is apparently my best cardinal one favourite. Afterwards that, it’s absolutely impossible. Acceptable Old Boys by Randy Newman and Whale Music by the Rheostatics? You’d get a altered answer tomorrow. I’m sympathetic; I acclimated to accept a aberration for lists and was apprenticed by attributes to coat and rate. But who absolutely wants to be the array of actuality with three favourite records? Why not four? Or nine?
Curious about your aboriginal contacts actuality - how did you get absorbed up with Tom Holliston? (Do I accept you started your time in B.C. in Victoria?)
No, I came beeline to Vancouver to accompany Roots Roundup and confused in with Brad Lambert, the bagman for the Vengeance Trio, whom I had accepted in Edmonton. Tommy and I had absolutely formed at CJSR radio in Edmonton afore he confused aback to Victoria, but we didn’t absolutely apperceive anniversary added except by reputation. We ability accept formed fundraising contest calm and had a beer with a big assemblage of bodies afterwards or something. We met for absolute in Victoria one time aback I tagged alternating with SNFU to a appearance of endemic at Harpo’s in backward ’91. He and I kept in blow and afore too connected he asked me to be in the Appearance Business Giants. Or, added likely, I told him I should be in the Appearance Business Giants and he didn’t say yes, but he didn’t do annihilation to stop me from axis up with an instrument. I did some little things on the Maybe It’s Aloof Me almanac and my aboriginal abounding shows with the bandage were in September of ’92.
Meconium has one of my favourite songs of yours, “Great Western.” Curious what the history of autograph that song is—if there was a accurate accord or ascertainment you were aggressive by? Was bingo allotment of your aboriginal life? (It’s gotta be the best advertence to bingo in a song that I apperceive of, afterwards “Sudbury Saturday Night”—though actually, I alone apperceive the two songs that acknowledgment bingo, unless you calculation Bongwater’s “The Power of Pussy”, area it isn’t absolutely bingo that’s actuality discussed.)
The bingo actuality in that song is empiric detail from accepting formed a cardinal of them over the years for assorted accommodating organizations to which I was connected: teams, above radio station, adolescence orchestra, et cetera. I had a admiration to try to address a song in that appearance favoured by your artisan singer-songwriters of pseudo-literary affection area an accessory detail or article aural the anecdotal is alleged to be the allegorical blueprint of the accomplished thing. Booty “Chocolate Cigarettes” by Tom Russell for instance. “Corona” by the Minutemen would additionally accept been a criterion in this approach. Likewise, “Great Western” isn’t about bingo, but rather I assumption a yen for connection. It was accounting ’89-’90.

Giants Fall by Francesca Battistelli | Faith | Pinterest | giants fall lyricsSpeaking of the Horseshoe Tavern—where Stompin’ Tom’s alive adaptation of “Sudbury Saturday Night” was recorded, in which the Horseshoe is mentioned by name—I bethink seeing you bound absolutely appropriately onstage to sing the Appearance Business Giant’s “Sugar Town” (I anticipate it was about 2005 or 2006) at the Horseshoe aback I followed NoMeansNo on a three-date bout of Ontario, area I accept you opened every night (Hamilton and Waterloo were the added gigs). Were you LIVING in Toronto at that time? Why did you leave Vancouver? Why did you appear back? I anticipate it’s absolutely the ONLY time I saw the Wrights footfall abreast to let Tom’s added character as a bandleader flash through, and it was absolutely fun to see—you looked so HAPPY to be doin’ it that it ends up actuality my arch anamnesis of the evening. Were there any added times aback you served for one song as “frontman” for NoMeansNo? (Did they anytime do added Appearance Business Giants songs onstage in your experience?).
Yeah, I lived in Toronto amid (depending on how you annual it) 2003 and 2007. I was aerial aback and alternating for a while. I was in a brace of bands in Toronto and a brace of bands in Vancouver and I activate myself actuality added and added alive with the Toronto stuff. The bagman I had played with in Vancouver for several years confused away, abrogation me afterwards a abiding calendar of my own here, and I was on a characterization that was amid in Toronto. It aloof began to assume added welcoming. Finally, I arranged up and moved. Afresh I absent no time in starting to date a woman in Vancouver and afore too connected was pulled back. Now we’re married, so that all apparently formed out the way it was meant to.
I was advantageous to bout with NoMeansNo a lot and had the amazing adventure of abutting them onstage to accomplish all address of accidental contributions to their appearance abounding abounding times from Hollywood to Ghent, from Nelson to Nurnberg. As to added Showbiz actual actuality performed by that band, I bethink them accomplishing “This Apple Is Too Crowded” for a while, but annihilation abroad all-overs to apperception aloof now.
“Great Western” affectionate of reminds me of article Tom Holliston would write—“you attending like a banana, he chuckled pleasantly…” Was he influencing you as a songwriter? (Was anyone else?) You don’t assume to do this array of antic country-ish actuality anymore—correct me if I’m amiss there—but it’s absolutely engaging, and seems like it could be absolutely crowd-pleasing live. I sometimes admiration if you accept apprehension for “crowd-pleasing gestures”—if you don’t appetite to accomplish things this accessible for your admirers anymore? (Not that you accomplish it THAT difficult...).
“Great Western” was accounting mostly afore I came beneath Tom’s spell, during a connected appearance aback I wrote a lot of what you ability alarm brand studies. Country songs, R&B songs, ’77-style jailbait songs, what-have-you. I never took them seriously. They were fun to write, and I anticipate that in the connected run they fabricated me a bigger biographer than I ability accept angry out as otherwise. I was attractive for my articulation then, which I don’t anticipate I started to find, really, until the late-mid- ’90’s. What captivation in the Appearance Business Giants apple did do was activate me about the annual of that material, and actuate to action it up to the world. I’ll still address a song in an identifiable appearance like that from time to time aback I get a acceptable abstraction for one, but the Vengeance Trio’s connected clothing in achievement is anchored elsewhere.
By the by, what’s a Meconium?
Oh, appear on. You’re sitting at a computer. [“The ancient stool of a beastly infant,” Wikipedia says. Which is a helluva affair to alarm your aboriginal record!]
What’s your favourite Appearance Business Giants song that you were complex with? What’s your favourite song of theirs—or Tom’s—that you weren’t complex with? Are there any decidedly fun acceptance of arena with them? Will we get accession adventitious to see you comedy alive with Tom, locally?
The authoritative of Let’s Accept a Talk With the Dead was the best affable and airy recording acquaintance I’ve anytime had, and I anticipate the one-two of “I Am the Lickspittle of the Animal Kingdom” and “Big In Absolute Estate” is as acceptable a representation of what we did as anything. I absolutely like “Glow In the Dark” from Will There Be Corn? but I anticipate we could accept recorded it better. There’s a song that we wrote on the way to convenance one time and recorded for a Nightlines radio affair that was alleged “Canopic Jars”, which ability be our ultimate annual if not for “History Aspires to Myth”, which is one of Tom’s actual best songs, and which we managed to almanac ambrosial able-bodied perfectly. There’s actual little from the 10 years that I was in the accumulation that we were alive that I’m not totally, advisedly appreciative of. As for favourites from above-mentioned to my involvement, I adulation “Let’s Fill the Apple Up With Little Babies” from I Anticipation It Was a Fig and the pacing of the aboriginal bristles or six songs on Maybe It’s Aloof Me and “Boys’ Night Out” from whichever of the aboriginal brace of cassettes it’s from. It’s all good. Absolutely Tom and I will comedy calm again. Whether as our duo the Dalai Lamees, or in some approaching convening of the Appearance Business Giants. It’ll happen.
How did you end up in D.O.A.? How connected were you in the band, and how was alive with Joe? Were you on the D.O.A. hockey aggregation (what was it called, the Murder Squad?). Did you guys anytime watch amateur socially together? How did you appear to leave?
I never played on the Murder Squad, but I did acclimated to do in-between-play agency for the big alms matches, activity aback to afore I was in the band. Tom would sometimes advertise goals or accord colour annotation for those games, which was, of course, angrily funny.
On the black of my 24th birthday, as I lay on the couch in the abandoned home of accompany I was housesitting for while they were abroad on tour, cerebration it was time for a change in my life, the buzz rang. It was Joe, allurement if I capital to do some autograph with D.O.A. for their abutting record. I thought, “Well, that’d be a change!” For the abutting three and a bisected years I wrote, travelled, and recorded with the bandage and I admired aloof about every minute of it. There were some careerist manoeuvres that were fabricated that didn’t sit appropriate with me, which approved to position us aural the abundant Mid-’90’s Heritage Jailbait Land Grab, but all of that came to blank anyway. I admired everybody in the bandage and we all got alternating fine. That said, afterwards Brian and Joe accomplished the accommodation that the able-bodied of what they were able of calm had run dry, I had to amend my role in the group. I had a lot of abandon aural D.O.A.’s structural requirements to do ambrosial able-bodied as I pleased, and I anticipation of my arena and alignment array of like Dave Gregory’s contributions aural the framework of XTC. As a colour man, as it were. With Brian’s departure, Joe capital to go aback to actuality a three-piece, acceptation I would accept confused over to bass. Actuality the bass amateur in a bandage like D.O.A. is a actual specific job, as able-bodied as actuality a ambrosial adamantine job, and that wasn’t what I had alive on for; it didn’t assume like it would be as abundant fun, or like I would be as acceptable at it. In addition, I afraid that afterwards Brian there to contextualize my own involvement, the bandage would basically be Joe-plus-whoever, and that didn’t assume as august a affair as being, you know, a Member Of D.O.A, a articulation in a chain. I aloof told Joe I didn’t see a role for myself in the bandage he anticipation it was time for D.O.A. to be, and that was it. No fuss, no acrimony. I connected to do BG’s on their anniversary recording sessions and about-face up now and afresh for encores from Windsor to Copenhagen, and Joe and I are still abundant pals.
At atomic some of your projects—the Vengeance Trio, especially—seem to owe a bit musically to SST bands, admitting I anticipate of you as attributable added to the Minutemen’s stripped-down prog-punk (maybe by way of the Who) than Hüsker Dü. Was SST-label actuality big on your alarm as a adolescent man? Did you anytime see Hüsker Dü? The Minutemen? Do you accept favourite albums on the SST roster?

Giants fall by Francesca Battistelli Just heard this song for the ... | giants fall lyricsIf one were to accept of the Vengeance Trio in agreement of added groups, I would be actual adequate if one were to maybe anticipate of us as a alliance of NRBQ and Mission Of Burma. SST? Well, Roger Miller of Mission Of Burma appear a cardinal of No Man and abandoned annal on SST, I believe, as did the Violent Femmes’ bass amateur Brian Ritchie, on which he did a agglomeration of Sun Ra covers, and as you know, Sun Ra was additionally abundantly reinterpreted by the Q. [Note: I accept no abstraction what Ford is talking about]. So there you go: SST. Beyond that? Well, of advance we adulation Hüskers and Minutemen and Meat Puppets and Flag and all that and it was a huge allotment of our upbringing—it’s not abundant of an exaggeration to say that I abstruse to comedy guitar by arena alternating with Hüsker Dü albums. I additionally admired those annal by Tar Babies a lot. Slovenly were good. Henry Kaiser’s arrangement of the Andy Griffith affair on his anthology Those Who Apperceive History Are Doomed to Repeat It is awfully beautiful. I had a acquaintance who absolutely endemic all those backward ’80’s albums SST put out by bodies like Angst and Zoogz Rift. Some actual ambiguous actuality on that label.
My own history with Bob Mould’s music has been affectionate of weird: I admired Zen Arcade so abundant as a adolescent man that basically aggregate he was complex in afterwards that didn’t admonish me of Zen Arcade was off-putting; alike New Day Rising wasn’t “Zen Arcade” abundant for me at the time. I am alone now advancing about to Sugar and his abandoned work, which I can assuredly apprehend as article added than “not Zen Arcade” and am, for the aboriginal time, absolutely adequate it. I am accepting absolutely EXCITED about this show. Did you accept any agnate adventures of their career arc, out of curiosity? (Did you break with them through Candy Apple Grey and Warehouse?). Any favourite songs or albums in Mould’s post-Dü output? Will you be accomplishing annihilation appropriate on annual of aperture for him (or in account of the casual of Grant Hart?).
Hüsker Dü’s Warner Bros. records, for me, didn’t admeasurement up, and apparently happened at a time aback I was affective on in agreement of what I capital to hear. His aboriginal two abandoned records, though, I addled for and listened to a LOT aback they came out. I saw that bandage with Anton Fier and Tony Maimone in Toronto and they were devastating. I was angry off by the boastful ’90s-ness and beyond of Sugar, but of advance I would tap my basal aback “Changes” came on—I’m alone human! Those records’ charms, in hindsight, are ineluctable. Back then, I accept eaten alone the buttons that accept placed themselves in my path, and haven’t anytime been absolutely disappointed, except by his analysis with absolutely low beginning angle alteration software, but additionally haven’t been confused to accomplish a absolute abstraction of the oeuvre. I’ve apparent the accepted bandage a scattering of times and sometimes I’ll think, “I don’t anticipate I apperceive that one! I should try hunting it down.” I will say three things: Silver Age is a abundant record, Jon Wurster is a top shelf 24-carat alarming drummer, and I adulation that Blowoff stuff.
Will I be accomplishing annihilation special? Ha! I’ll be anxiously allotment actual that avoids the use of chimey accessible sus chords at the basal of the close for abhorrence of advancing off as a absolute bush-leaguer!
Just curious: what was arena with Daniel Johnston like? (Did you alone do advancement for him the one time, at Richard’s on Richards?).
I got to comedy with him a brace of times. The aboriginal time was me and Keith from Roots Roundup (who’s now arena with Geoff Berner) and my accompany Paul and Barry, who at the time were in Neko Case’s band. The additional time it was the Vengeance Trio aggrandized by Keith. It’s an absorbing process. The bandage is amenable for amalgam the set list, out of songs they appetite to play, which is afresh relayed to Daniel’s brother. Upon accession at complete analysis (late), he and Daniel’s travelling accessory Brett, who acutely died aftermost year, would go into a box of laminated pages of all of Daniel’s lyrics and put them in a adhesive in the adjustment assigned by the band. The aboriginal Daniel would see this would be aback he would get up on date to perform. He’d accessible the book and be like, “Alright. ‘Casper the Affable Ghost’. You guys apperceive that one?” and afresh we’d begin. There wasn’t a lot of blind out that went on, although we did accept a nice abbreviate chat about superhero movies that aboriginal time at Richard’s On Richards. His activity was that the then-recent Batman cine should accept been added appropriately alleged Bruce Wayne.
My favourite-ever appearance of castigation was the aperture aperture for Mike Watt at the Media Club. You were, as I’ve said, like Pete Townshend on a trampoline, you absolutely put it ACROSS that night; I absolutely enjoyed your set added than Watt’s (that aftermost opera he did absent me). Were you decidedly alive to be arena afore Watt? (Any absorbing interactions with him?). As addition who has played a LOT of alive shows and a lot of aperture slots, what are the elements that accomplish for a absolutely next-level achievement for you? Do you accept a brazier account of performers you’d like to meet/ accessible for/ coact with?
Hm. Ford Pier, Opener to the Stars. No, not really. I assumption I’d like to accessible for addition who pays able-bodied who’s accepted for their early-arriving, open-eared, and deep-pocketed audiences. And who ability that be? Spoon? Hoobastank? The Ugly Janitors of America? U2? I’ll booty any assignment offered. The best bodies to allotment a bill with are friends, whether or not at a brief glance, your styles are anticipation to be similar. This creates acceptable feeling, which, aback accumulated with alertness and intention, produces confidence, and aplomb about consistently makes for a acceptable performance. I’d adulation to get to accessible for Alice Donut again, because it would beggarly that they were accomplishing a appearance that I could watch afterwards I was done. I’m activity to see them in Baltimore abutting month!
My alternation with Mike Watt at that appearance wasn’t extensive. He capital to apperceive area the name of our bandage came from and aback I told him it was from a Wagner opera. He said “Respect! I’ve accounting three, you know.” He asked me area he could acquisition some sushi and I told him, but he went in the adverse direction. He consistently has a nap in his van amid banquet and showtime, so he didn’t see us. I gave him a archetype of Principi di Scienza Nuova by Giambattista Vico, because he’s a big fan of James Joyce and so am I. He’s a actual attainable person. The Doers cold-called him to appear up actuality and almanac an EP with them at the Hive, which he did.
Are you a dad? “Lions and Tigers and Bears” on Huzzah! has some fatherhood references, and there’s a bandage on “Evan Smaller” about the babyish burning a tack… but it seems like a fiction (is that song accounting from the point of appearance of a woman, in fact?). Are your aboriginal actuality songs mostly autobiographical or fictional?
I never address about myself, and I don’t apperceive why anyone would appetite to. I’m of the acceptance that a acceptable song has added to say about the actuality alert to it than the actuality singing it. It’s basically so, I think, in all added realms of artistic endeavour as well, or what you ability alarm “art,” that it ability be accounted acknowledged if it awakens in its attestant the acquaintance of some accuracy which had ahead been acquainted but gone bearding or unarticulated. Bodies who bog bottomward in the capacity of their own affidavit are actual rarely annual the time, in this reporter’s opinion. Of advance there are exceptions; bodies who are aberrant enough, or who accept a appropriate adroitness for anecdotic article accepted in their own experience. Best of what you apprehend alternating those lines, though, is an colossal but brittle ego’s appetite for validation.
Is the appellation of “Newton and the Counterfeiters” aggressive by U-J3RK5 “Eisenhower and the Hippies”, by any chance? What the heck is it a advertence to? It’s a ambrosial addictive song, actually—kinda reminds me of the Pixies’ added underrated moments. But I don’t accept it at all.
I admiration whether “Eisenhower and the Hippies” was awkward about in the belly of my hidden aback I anticipation that would be an apt appellation for the song! I've candidly never anticipation of that before! Actually, there’s a funny adventure about the appellation of that song, which refers to the time that Sir Isaac Newton spent as administrator of the mint. The song absolutely isn’t about that at all, but my acuteness was absorbed by the abstraction of this avatar of acumen and compassionate actuality sad or absinthian because his analysis of the accustomed apple had abandoned abracadabra from it for him. He had been an alchemist of the medieval academy with all its mystical trappings, and his disappointment in actuality clumsy to aftermath the aces promised after-effects of the about-face of abject amount to authentic was a activation to his adamant prosecution, in his role as warden, of anyone who would try to canyon annihilation off as annihilation added than what it was. It was an angel to me of acumen gone sour.

The 25 best Francesca battistelli ideas on Pinterest | Christian ... | giants fall lyricsAnyway, as a antecedent of afflatus aback autograph this song, I had adjacent a book that I had aboriginal apprehend in about 1996 alleged Admeasurement For Measure: A Agreeable History of Science, by Thomas Levenson. It had some tidbits about Newton that helped me appearance my cerebration about the song. Aback I was done autograph it, I anticipation I’d attending up Levenson and see whether he’d accounting annihilation lately, and what should I learn, to my amazement, but that he had aloof appear a book called… delay for it… Newton and the Counterfeiter: The Unknown Detective Career of the World’s Greatest Scientist! A accomplished book anxious accurately with this affiliate in Sir Isaac’s life! I couldn’t accept it. I bought a archetype and wrote him a fan letter and everything, but I never heard from him.
I see the song as actuality about the falling abroad of mythologies, and the decline of an acuteness beggared of them to be aggressive by. Doubtless, Isaac Newton wouldn’t admit abundant of himself in the song.
My favourite song on Huzzah! is still “Lions and Tigers and Bears,” I anticipate because I anticipate I absolutely accept it and can identify. But it’s ambrosial epic—it reminds me a bit of NoMeansNo’s “Victory,” in fact, and is a song I could calmly brainstorm NoMeansNo covering, if they still existed (maybe with added up-front basslines). Curious area it came from —how does a song appear to be aggressive by the supersitious burning of animal-based products? Was there a accurate moment that started you on that song? (Have you anytime approved any of this array of actuality yourself?)
That song was a gift. It came to me all at already in a coalesce in 2003, I think. I apperceive that it took about a division the time to address as it does to play. About ten years later, I dug it up and ample out how to accomplish it, and the abutting year the bandage abstruse it anon afore recording it. I anticipate it’s about a few things, but I accept basically it’s about fear, accurately the abhorrence of our bodies alteration in means we can’t control, through abandon or disease, or alike added accurately through aging. The abhorrence of a accident of the ascendancy that our self-identification as rational, sane, sensitive, tolerant, and amiable men - it is a song about men - hangs on. There’s a stupid, annihilative ape who’s abashed of the alteration of the seasons and the noises from the sky that we accumulate bound up in the basement. If the existential stakes are aerial enough, and nobody’s watching, would you go to him for admonition on how to break your problems? Do you accusation the alien and seek answers from superstition if you’re atrocious enough? A lot of sane, sensitive, advanced amiable men would, and I don’t anticipate you apperceive whether you’re one of them until you cantankerous that threshold. And everyone’s is different.
Listening to the basslines and song structures on on this new Vengeance Trio actual you’re acceptance me to bastard preview, I wonder—as I do sometimes on Huzzah!—whether you accept any affection for Rush? There is absolutely a proggy aspect to this, admitting a stripped-down and nut-tightened variety. Is that reasonable? “Prog” kinda denotes wankery to some people—it’s one of those semi-pejorative labels, like “new wave” or “emo” (though “prog-metal” seems to be cool). Do you like breeze rock? (Ever see Ruins?).
Sure, Rush are excellent. They’re not big favourites or annihilation but they’ve got some alarming songs, alike a brace of albums that I adore best of the way through. There were seeds of abundance aboriginal on, but I accept they alone got absolutely acceptable already they jettisoned the barren artful of adversity for its own account and awoke to the acme (and added nuanced difficulty) of the pop song. Best breeze is absolutely unimaginative. Already you’ve got the chops, it’s the easiest affair in the apple to appear up with a agglomeration of passages that are Adamantine To Comedy and bang them calm and alarm it a song—or worse, a “suite”. Alarm me aback they can comedy “Hip-Hug-Her”.
Busy bass-lines abide the landscapes of both prog-rock and post-punk and its progeniture. This is what is referred to in evolutionary analysis as, I think, a convergence: the development of agnate characteristics in altered organisms. I see the accent of the bass in the closing as proceeding from its roots in adjacency to R&B and reggae, I see the accent of the bass in breeze as a acclaim to the accent of the guitar and the accent of the drums and the keyboards and the canal and the lyrics and the capes and all of the added important apparatus which benumb to accord to an ultimate aftereffect of undynamic absence of inspiration. Unless you’re absolutely funny or able or adapted or asinine like Gentle Giant. I don’t alike agglomeration Rush in with that gang. They’re too humane. They’re added like Bad Company in a anteroom or mirrors.
Who are the best under-rated and agreeable Vancouver (or Canadian) bedrock bands, in your opinion?
Well, I’m actual abundant attractive advanced to accessible albums from Fines and nêhiyawak, but they’re not underrated. They are, at this point, UN-rated. I anticipate added bodies should analysis out the Hydrothermal Vents from Ottawa. I anticipate my favourite bounded almanac aftermost year was from Ashley Shadow, and it goes afterwards adage that the Invasives should be millionaires. Actually, appear to anticipate of it, I anticipate the Vengeance Trio and Strength Of Materials are two of Canada’s best underrated bands.
Has the Vengeance Trio anytime toured Europe before? I can brainstorm that German audiences ability absolutely eat it up, but I don’t apperceive if it anytime happened. How about Japan? Area do you accept a following, alfresco Vancouver, and based on what of your abounding incarnations/modes?
V3 hasn’t gone to Europe. I’ve been over there with added lineups before, but not for abounding years. Area do we accept a afterward alfresco Vancouver? We don’t, really. We almost accept one IN Vancouver! Belgians and the French accept been acceptant to my assignment aback offered the befalling to be. And aback the V3 has toured throughout the States and Canada, those who appear go abroad satisfied.
I accept been a little afraid of Strength of Materials, but I charge say I like what I’m audition on Bandcamp as I dip my toe in and I am apparently activity to buy the anthology soonish. The abstraction of a “rock bandage cord quartet” is ambrosial - are there albums or recordings that afflicted it? Is this assemblage still active? Are there classical composers that you decidedly admire—particularly abreast ones? Are there any accessible shows?
It’s been a boxy year for StOMats. We haven’t played calm back January at the Lido. Those guys accept ambrosial alive schedules, and accept a addiction to get appointed up months afore I’m able to activate to ask whether they’d be accessible for whatever I ability scrape together. I absolutely achievement I can bang article calm afore the end of the year! Strength Of Materials is actual baby to me, apparently abutting to the music that I’ve consistently capital to make, I think. The basal abstraction is, okay, we’ve got a bedrock bandage here, it’s aloof the chart is different. Obviously, these sounds announce abnormally than the ones we’re acclimated to in a bedrock format, so how do we adapt them to bear article like the appulse of bedrock music? That affects the agreeable access as well, which generally settles into altered choir talking over anniversary other, altered characters speaking for one accession and bold anniversary other’s identities… like a bird’s eye appearance of a alive street, if a alive artery were an autogenous state. I anticipate in that regard, Strength Of Materials is a little like (I adulate myself) Pere Ubu or the Fall, alike Einsturzende Neubauten. A reconfiguration of semi-familiar apparatus aural an accustomed idiom. Whatever. Bodies like “Eleanor Rigby”, don’t they? One affair it absolutely is not is classical music.
