Drumming with Dead Can Dance : and Parallel Adventures
Dead Can Dance - Book - by Peter Ulrich
(2022)
Ulrich
thinks he got the ultimate fan trip-to play, record, and tour with his
favourite band, Dead Can Dance. His memoir details the early days, from
signing with 4AD, recording their first album, then heading off on tour
with the Cocteau Twins. There follow insights into the legendary period
of the 4AD label of the 1980s; contributing to This Mortal Coil;
guesting with Wolfgang Press, Pieter Nooten and Michael Brook, and
Modern English; and touring the US for the first time in 1990.
Following
his departure from DCD, Ulrich remained close with Brendan Perry and
Lisa Gerrard, and his memoir tracks their parallel paths over the
following decades. A must for fans of Dead Can Dance and the 4AD label,
and at the same time, a fascinating slalom through the ups and downs of
trying to pursue a vision through the music industry.
