Fier was an early member of The Lounge Lizards and The Feelies. He was in The Lodge (with John Greaves), worked with Pere Ubu, was briefly in the Voidoids, and founded The Golden Palominos. The 1978 Pere Ubu EP titled ''Datapanik in the Year Zero'' was dedicated to Fier.

He has collaborated extensively with Bill Laswell and also toured and recorded with Hüsker Dü guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Bob Mould. He also played with bassist Jack Bruce and Japanese guitarist Kenji Suzuki on the 1987 album ''Inazuma Super Session – "Absolute Live!!"''
