Career
The Scavengers and The Marching Girls Though now primarily known for his quiet introspective work with Dead Can Dance, Perry's first musical forays were in a markedly different style. In 1977, Perry was a leading member of New Zealand punk rock band The Scavengers, working under the pseudonym of Ronnie Recent. Perry started as the band's bass player, becoming lead vocalist after a lineup change in 1978. In 1979 the band moved to Melbourne and changed their name to The Marching Girls. Perry left this band in 1981. Perry's work with these two bands can be found on the compilation album, AK79, and on a compilation of Scavengers singles which has recently been released on CD. The Scavengers are regarded as New Zealand's equivalent of The Buzzcocks, with the Perry co-penned song "Mysterex" being seen as one of the country's best and most distinctive punk rock singles. The Marching Girls also reached the New Zealand singles charts in 1980 with "True Love". Dead Can Dance is a band comprising Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry. ...

Dead Can Dance Dead Can Dance originally formed as a quartet in 1981 in Melbourne, with Brendan Perry, drummer Simon Monroe (ex-Marching Girls as well as Perry), bass player Paul Erikson and Lisa Gerrard, last to join the band. In 1982, Dead Can Dance moved to London leaving Simon Monroe in Australia. Peter Ulrich would play drums on the band's first demos, concerts and recordings. Paul Erikson quickly left the band to fly back to Australia, leaving the band as a duo. The band recorded eight albums on the 4AD Records recording label beginning with the self-titled, Dead Can Dance album, released in February 1984.
