Dead Can Dance, the legendary band beloved in the dark scene that popularized North African Eithnic music and Antique music in the world of popular music in the 90's, are forming plans for a new album and reunion tour sometime in 2005. The success of this unique duo is in part due to the combination of the excellent vocal work of Lisa Gerrard and the European Dark sound of Brendan Perry.

Lisa Gerrard, one of the band members, says "The lineup of musicians is absolutely phenomenal, actually it is better then that, this will without doubt be the Dead Can Dance concert to see and hear, it is hard to contain my excitement and anticipation."

This will mark the first time the band has reunited with Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry since 1998.

Cool. I love DCD, but got into them after they broke up.

excellent news.

Just bumping this up to remind the DCD fans. I just got my tickets.... I can't wait.

I just found out about this, and was thrilled to see they're coming to San Diego... unfortunately, not til late Sept, and I'm moving to Dallas before then...

BUT, tickets are $70!! WTF?

Ironically, I'm leaving SD because the cost of living is too high. I couldn't afford $70 if I was still here. But if they add Dallas to their list, I could afford it... are you listening, Lisa Gerrard?! ; )

Just got back from their show. Great performance. $70 seems a little steep, I had good seats for $40. But if you've never seen them and you're a fan, definitely check them out. They played a few new ones and lots of older stuff. Lisa finished with an amazing song.

I have tickets for the Boston show.
