Well it has been a while since my last newsletter to you and not without good reason as I have been busy making preparations for a North American release and accompanying live tour. So without further ado I am thrilled to announce that I have signed a three album distribution deal with The End Records in New York who will be releasing my latest album, Ark this coming may 24. This will ensure that you folks across the pond will not have to pay those nasty import prices for my music in future. To pre order please visit the following link http://www.theomegaorder.com/BrendanPerry I am also very happy to announce my upcoming tour of the US, Canada and Mexico which commences in Washington DC on may 30. This will be a very special tour for me as I will also be accompanied by my old associate and friend Robin Guthrie from the Cocteau Twins who will be performing his very own unique style of music together with films of his original animations.

Ark Film and tour dates

brendan-perry — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:58:52 +0000

Well it has been a rather eventful few months to say the least since my last newsletter in which I have hired and dispensed with the services of two managers and finally completed and mastered my new album 'Ark'. The lack of effective management has meant that release and tour dates have had to be put back until early next year but I am happy to announce that I am now managed by an old trusted colleague Colin Wallace who also manages Elizabeth Fraser from the Cocteau Twins. At present we are exploring distribution possibilities for the album worldwide and will update you as soon as we have official release dates to hand. Also in the pipeline is a 100 date double headline world tour with my old friend Peter Murphy of Bauhaus which is planned to begin next march to coincide with the album release. The tour will commence in South America via Mexico to North America and then on to Europe... I shall be announcing the official dates come this side of Noel. In the meantime I have made a short promotional film about the making of Ark which you can view at my new webpage ark.brendan-perry.com. The narrative has been translated into several languages for those who are non-english speakers. This new web portal will eventually also become my new webshop where you will be able to purchase special editions and other related artistic offerings. In the meantime thank you all for your patience, it has been a somewhat frustrating few months for me but as the saying goes sometimes you have to go around the block a few times before you come to the right door! best wishes my friends Brendan

Piano Magic

brendan-perry — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:01:06 +0000

I recently had the great pleasure of recording two songs, 'You Never Loved This City' and 'The Nightmare Goes On' for the new Piano Magic album 'Ovations' which will be released 12th October 2009 on Darla (North America & Asia) and Make Mine Music (Rest Of World). CD and 180mg vinyl. My dear old friend Peter Ulrich from Dead Can Dance also contributes percussion to this beautiful work. www.myspace.com/lowbirthweight

A MEANS OF ESCAPE

brendan-perry — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:42:47 +0000

A Rare Dead Can Dance track is now available for free download to all subscribers. New subscribers can sign up to the newsletter via the home page newsletter link. 'A Means of Escape' was the first professional studio recording by Dead Can Dance featuring the original line-up of Brendan Perry (Vocals & Electric Guitar), Lisa Gerrard (Pearl Syncussion), Paul Erikson (Bass Guitar) and Simon Monroe (Drums). Recorded in early 1982 by the Australian producer, Chris Thompson at Richmond Recorders, Melbourne, it captures the early Joy Division inspired wall of sound that became DCD's sonic trademark in the early eighties. I hope you enjoy this rare gem from the DCD archives. Slan Brendan

Spring news from Quivvy

brendan-perry — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 21:06:32 +0000

I have just returned from a short albeit rather rain sodden Easter break in the Scottish Highlands and have added new photographs from my travels to the photography gallery section. On a more pressing note, my new album Ark is very near to completion and will be released as a digital download this coming August. I had originally wanted to release it in spring but having missed the spring deadline and because of the subsequent summer vacuum have opted for an August release instead. As well as the digital download CD special editions will also be made available containing artwork/lyrics and a retail version will then be made available to the general public in October. I will be performing live concerts to coincide with these release dates in august and october with my new band: Steve Jones (guitar/keyboards), Laurence O'Keefe (bass guitar), Jules Maxwell (keyboards) and Jez Wiles (drums and percussion). I will post the tour dates as soon as they become available and am really looking forward to playing in a town near you! Best regards, Brendan
