As a young teenager Feldman had visited the Magic Band at the ‘Trout’ house in Woodlands Hills. In 1976 he was to join the band to play keyboards, accordion and bass after Don had sacked John Thomas for playing on the second Mallard album.
After the demise of the Magic Band Feldman has been in demand as a sideman and as a producer, playing with Pere Ubu, Snakefinger, Polly Harvey to name only a few.
He has regularly toured as part of Polly Harvey’s band (playing bass and keyboards). In 2003 he was touring as part of the Residents band on their ‘Demons Dance Alone’ tour.
A band called ‘kNIFE & fORK’ is EDF’s latest project has toured as support for P J Harvey.
