"Ten years ago, rock musicians would never listen to dance music and dance musicians would never listen to classical music. Now, most of the rock musicians I know own samplers and most classical composers I know also are listening to dance music." -- Moby

(PRWEB) March 14, 2003

After 6 six years playing guitar and singing with Garlic Frog Diet (Hard-core band with 2 LPs:FNAC/SEMETARY),

Thierry decided to develop his own musical ideas.

Music:

Définitively Electro-clash style, electronic music with 80's références, humor, energy,

and rock attitude heritated from Holweck's punk past.

Think about early Chemical Brothers, Chicks on Speed's fresh humor.

Our live events are dynamic and danceable: "we don't need visual aid in the background, we are the show".

We play more often in Rock venues than in discotek.

CD:

"Teepee" four track CD is promoted in England by Shellshock record.

Sold by CDbaby.com(USA),

Magic Bus and Atanata.com(France).

Forthcoming album in 2003

Some Review:

"Teepee is a stomping piece of funk, electro and space rock, all melted together in a kind of comic strip art-punk alloy. Fans of Camping Gaz and Tocotronic/ Phantom Ghost would be well advised to take a sound detour right here" Vera Faivre(Shellshock , UK)

"I still hear some techno sounds that are nothing but fr'enetic beats, all flare, no style.These tunes were easy, soothing, non-seizure inducing.

I felt completely relaxed listening to the CD." Dustin Landrum(Shut eye records, USA)

"...Das Debüt "Teepee" ist ein recht verspieltes Stück zwischen Funk and Electro, das auf einer groovigen Basslinie und dem gesampleten souleigen Sprechgesang von Peggy Lee

basiert und gut in die Beine geht.Die Live-version wird durch das Schlagzeugspeil von Pat "Le pirate" Garlant ergänzt, ebenso "Free Chicken", das an Fatboy Slim erinnert und ebenfalls clubtauglich ist.Gastmusiker Cedric Signori und Holweck selbst toben sich in den Pausen zwischen den Gitarren und Sprachsamples am Pitch Bend Wheel und Cutoff-filter ihrer Synthesizer

City Canyons Joins with Music & Words for International Release of Album of Dead Can Dance Percussionist

(PRWEB) January 24, 2005

City Canyons Records announces with great pleasure its newly signed agreement with the Netherlands?s independent label, Music & Words to release and distribute Peter Ulrich's new album "Enter the Mysterium" throughout the United States and Europe. Release is set for March 1 in the United States.

Hans Peters, co-president of Music & Words remarked ?I am looking forward to the joint effort with City Canyons, one of America's rising new indie labels, to further the music of one of the most creative and original recording artists on today's music scene through this international release".

Music & Words celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2005 having released more than 160 albums specializing in roots based music including musical areas like folk and Celtic, blues, Cajun, klezmer, African, Caribbean and Asian music ranging in musical style from ethnic to rock. While newcomer City Canyons Records has released three albums, Jen Elliott and Bluestruck?s "The Secret's Out", Finnish group Valerian?s "Intimations of Sorrow" and UK rocker David Steele?s "Underneath the Ice", the U.S. indie label has definitely become a presence on the international music scene with its upcoming release with Music & Words of "Enter the Mysterium".

Prior to "Enter the Mysterium", Peter Ulrich was perhaps best known for his long-time collaboration with Dead Can Dance, the fabulously creative band of the eighties that explored new frontiers of music exploring world, folk, darkwave and a wealth of other forms. Ulrich joined the group in 1983 and appeared on albums like "Garden of Arcane Delights", "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun" and "Spiritchaser," and was a touring member of the group until 1990.

Ulrich also collaborated on Ivo Watts-Russell's "This Mortal Coil" project, contributing the song "At First, And Then" to Filigree And Shadow, and also played on the legendary label 4AD with labelmates Michael Brook and the Wolfgang Press as an incidental percussionist. Ulrich's "Pathways & Dawns", released on Projekt Records in 1999, featured former Dead Can Dance bandmate Brendan Perry as a producer and arranger. Delighted reviewers of "Pathways & Dawns" compared Ulrich's work to medieval madrigals, baroque exotica, Todd Rundgren and Brian Eno all in the same sentence, a tribute to the infinite variety of Ulrich's music.

"Enter the Mysterium" is similarly diverse but with brilliant pop influences that should cause it, while losing none of its stunning originality, to appeal to a broader audience. Mysterium features words and music by Ulrich, vocals by Ulrich and Ulrich playing both traditional instruments and a selection of exotic instruments from all over the world.

Ulrich's music in Mysterium recalls Dead Can Dance but has an exotic flavor of its own, blending seamlessly an array of musical genres--art pop, dream-pop, ancient and medieval music, new age, world and ethnic music and darkwave -- into a lush tapestry. But words cannot explain that music to understand it, you must enter Ulrich's world of light and shadow, a world of black and white magic, a world haunting, mysterious, sometimes frightening but in the end uplifting--a world powerfully mapped out in Ulrich's new album.

As an added treat, particularly for those who have tired of the pabulum that passes for music on commercial radio, the release of "Enter the Mysterium" coincides with the reuniting of Dead Can Dance for a world tour this spring. Surely the rebirth of creative, risk-taking new music will be as refreshing and warming to some music-lovers' hearts as that first spring flower poking through the frost.

For more information on "Enter the Mysterium", including advance copies of the CD for review, full press kits with photographs and opportunities for interviews, please contact Katherine Brodsky, Random Minds, PR, 604-725-5449 or e-mail info@random-minds.com. The City Canyons Records website may be visited at http://www.citycanyons.com.

The Music & Words website may be visited at http://www.musicwords.nl. Distribution opportunities outside the U.S. and Europe are presently available for "Enter the Mysterium".

Peter Urich Recalls the Early Days of Dead Can Dance

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 8, 2005

While Peter Ulrich has since launched a successful solo career, including his most recent release, ENTER THE MYSTERIUM, he still looks back with great fondness on his days as a drummer for Dead Can Dance, the fabled band appearing at Oakland's Paramount Theatre on September 21 and 22.

?I was in London playing in a cover band playing soul, blues and R&B at what can only be described as pubs for serious drinkers when I met Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance. They had recently moved to London from Melbourne, Australia?

Since Ulrich?s real love was not R&B but bands along the lines of Joy Division, The Cure and The Talking Heads, he found the developing music of Dead Can Dance to be fascinating and he jumped at the opportunity when invited to become part of the group.

?When they asked me to join them, I basically had to unlearn almost everything I knew about drumming. Drums weren?t a mere rhythm section for Dead Can Dance. Drums were the core of the songs, the basic building blocks.?

Dead Can Dance caught fire almost immediately and Ulrich went quickly from playing to a handful of drinkers to playing to sell-out crowds of hundreds of avid Dead Can Dance fans.

Ulrich downplays his own contributions to the group. ?The core of Dead Can Dance was, is and always will be Brendan with his incredible intense playing of the guitar and his unique vocals and Lisa with that amazingly serene presence and spectacular voice.?

Over the years, Dead Can Dance evolved ever more richly, adding exotic instruments and different vocal approaches into lush, multi-layered masterpieces. Ulrich stayed with the band for several years but eventually the pull of family life and a solo career caused him to leave the exciting but all-consuming life of the road.

When asked why Dead Can Dance broke up in 1998, Ulrich only shakes his head. ?That was a private decision between Lisa and Brendan. Like every DCD fan I was dismayed when DCD broke up but am overjoyed that they are back together.?

While Ulrich and DCD are no longer together, the bond between Ulrich and his former band mates runs deep. Perry even produced Ulrich?s first solo venture on the Projekt label, PATHWAYS AND DAWNS (1999) and Perry and Gerrard continue to support him, as he does them, as Ulrich launches his second release, ENTER THE MYSTERIUM under the City Canyons Records imprint and Dead Can Dance, together again, offers their music to the world and a whole new generation of music lovers.

For more information on Peter Ulrich, including opportunities for interviews, please contact Katherine Brodsky, Random Minds, PR.. Retailers may order in-store copies of ENTER THE MYSTERIUM through Avalon Distribution (http://www.avalon-distribution.com). The album is available to consumers at CD Baby ((http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/peterulrich), at the City Canyons Records online store (http://www.citycanyons.com/ccstore.html) and at their local record shop.
