Dead Can Dance on a larger world tour - in October in Munich


On 09.08.2012 begins the great world tour, those of the duo Dead Can Dance Australia. World music, neo-classical, gothic rock and post-punk? One finds it difficult to categorize the music of Dead Can Dance. In her very own style of Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry have always been incredibly blended many different elements together. From rock to medieval melodies and Gaelic traditional folk have also been adopted as part of Arab and Eastern European harmony and African rhythm. The instrumentation is for Dead Can Dance always open to any type of game. Electric guitar, a synthesizer, a didgeridoo, a violin or a glockenspiel, everything is permitted if it is the fullness of sound. With all these and many other instruments, the duo will occur on 10/07/2012 at the Philharmonie am Gasteig in Munich.
The performances of Dead Can Dance are the first world tour since their completely sold-out shows in 2005. On this tour showcase the duo's new studio album "Anastasis." This is the first since 1996, published in "Spiritchaser". Since 1981, the two now play together already - apart from their temporal separation between one time. Obviously, Dead Can Dance, have now found great joy in the music together and to each other - thankfully!
Especially characteristic of Dead Can Dance: The Voices. Perry's warm baritone forms a clear contrast to Gerrard's bright sound. Dead Can Dance has always played what is known as a troublesome world music, but what is in their expression in a unique variety. Thus they have become role models for a whole generation of musicians.
What will be live in the Munich Philharmonic, Brendan Perry describes it: "Our tour plans are well under way and so we have assembled a fine group of performers for the live concerts who have kindly put their own careers on hold in order to perform the music from our new album as well as some new arrangements from the historical archives.
