David Ford is a One-Man-Band

David Ford used to front a British indie-rock band called Easyworld. They split up in 2004. If you've seen his live, one-take video performance of the first single "Go to Hell" off of his latest solo LP, you may rightly conclude that the guy never really needed a backing band to begin with. In the clip, he plays every instrument (including the knife-and-fork and the sugar shaker), looping and layering each sonic riff on top of one another until the whole thing snowballs into a rich, robust rock song. The song itself is good and the performance is even more impressive. Check it out.
