 Peter Ulrich met Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard shortly after they
arrived in London from Melbourne in1982 in search of a record deal for
Dead Can Dance. They needed a drummer and invited Peter to join. By the
middle of the following year, Dead Can Dance had signed to 4AD and was in
the studio recording the first album.
Peter played drums and
percussion on most of the first album, the 'Garden of the Arcane Delights'
EP and the two BBC John Peel radio sessions, and made percussion
contributions to the 'Within the Realms of a Dying Sun' and 'Spiritchaser'
albums. He also played on all but one of Dead Can Dance's concert tours
until the end of 1990.
Being a part of Dead Can
Dance was a fantastic experience for Peter which had a huge influence on
his own musical development. Brendan and Lisa gave him great encouragement
and inspiration, and without Brendan's help he would not have been able to
launch his solo career. |
