Melbourne based A Dead Forest Index will be performing 20 dates across Europe in support of fellow label & Melbourne band HEIRS for there 'Hunter' release in September/October 2012. Following this years release of 'Antique' through Denovali records, A Dead Forest Index have announced 2 headline shows directly after the European tour, which sees them perform at Servant Jazz Quarters, London & The Cube Cinema, Bristol. Joining them will be Ectopia, & Martin Aloysius Brignall, with special guests be announced.
Brothers Adam and Sam Sherry form minimalist two piece A Dead Forest Index. Originally from Auckland/London, A Dead Forest Index formed in 2009 and are currently based in Melbourne. The band create a sound ambitious in contrast and depth, drawing on simple yet dynamic elements, leaving sparse but deliberate structures & washes of sound that centre around the voice. Their songs draw from a wide range of influences such as William Blake, Taraf De Haidouks, Scott Walker and Arvo Part. Their début EP 'Antique', originally released in 2011, saw re-release in 2012 by Denovali Records (Germany) and OSCL Records (Australia). Expanding on their minimal, layered live performance, ‘Antique’ brings to life a sound that is strikingly original and sincere. They are currently working on their first full length album due out towards the end of the year.

Ectopia is an ongoing music project by Vicky Steiri, Adam Christensen and Jack Brennan. Previous performances include 'The Lion Tamer' (music for Spartacus Chetwynd's performance) at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, a live soundtrack for Jack Smith's Normal Love at the ICA (London) and a live composition in Hotel Garderobe in response to Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1928 Passion of Joan of Arc.

Martin Aloysius Brignall has an interest in early musical forms particularly American and English Folk, Primitive and Early Classical.
Drawing on these influences he crafts songs that relate his personal experiences and observations. John Fahey has played part in shaping his approach, but many others are touched on, like Eddie Lang, Robert Johnson, Howling Wolf and Jim O'Rourke. He finds inspiration from all kinds of places, London's strange and rich history, American writers like John Fante and Harry Crews and growing up in a small village in Gloucestershire. His songs try to capture the beauty and cruelty of life, the contrast and the glue that binds them.'
