Band/artist history
Kid Cadillac
The band had it's roots firmly planted in the Vancouver music scene of the early 70's. Playing on Vancouver's skid row, Don MacPherson and Larry Greene came together in a country rock band called Mule Train that featured Tom Russell on lead vocals. MacPherson was on drums and Greene on bass. As the band moved more and more into contemporary rock, as name change was inevitable. Soon the band became Fathead. Russell eventually left to make his name in the States and was replcaced by Ted Bryant. Although there were several changes in members, Greene & MacPherson stayed together until 1976 when Greene retired as a professional. In 1986, Greene, Bryant and MacPerson reformed the band and added Gord Dick on drums since MacPherson has moved to guitar to be a more effective lead vocalist. They named this incarnation 'Armed and Dangerous' and performed for many years as an up tempo boogies country band. After Bryant retired due to arthritis, the band added Chuck Goudie to the line up. The band formed primarily to do some recording but soon ended up performing as River. They changed their format from current country to retro country and gradually added some 1950's tunes to the repertoire. The old rock & roll tunes were so well received that they were soon asked to play for a 1950's tribute evening. To fit the evening they came up with a temporary name for the band. For one night they became Kid Cadillac & the Coupe de Villes.Have you performed in front of an audience?We do play live as much as we can. We play in the greater Vancouver area.
