Brendan Michael Perry (born 30 June 1959)[1] is a British singer and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work as half of the duo Dead Can Dance with Lisa Gerrard.

Having received no formal musical education, Perry began to play the guitar at St Paul's College,[3] the Catholic school he attended in Ponsonby.

After two years, having failed to secure a recording deal or live dates, the band moved to Melbourne, Australia, in November 1978[4] and changed its name to Marching Girls.

"[1] Dead Can Dance were originally formed as a quartet in 1981 in Melbourne, with Perry, drummer Simon Monroe, bass player Paul Erikson, and, last to join the band, Lisa Gerrard.

According to a reply Perry made to a comment on his Myspace blog, the new album would be very different from Eye of the Hunter, notably because it would feature rhythm machines and electric guitars.

[9] In March 2016 it was announced that he would collaborate with French musician Olivier Mellano and the Breton traditional band Bagad Cesson on a project titled No Land.
