12 Facts About Patricia Morrison

Patricia Morrison played bass on their 1984 album The Las Vegas Story, and was one of the longer serving band members, before leaving after her second tour in late 1984.

Patricia Morrison cites that although there were great times playing with the Gun Club and writing songs with singer Jeffrey Lee Pierce, ultimately she found it frustrating due to Pierce's uncooperative approach to business and his self-sabotaging tendencies; "realizing Jeffrey was his own worst enemy and despite loving the band it was going nowhere and I was finding it hard to watch".

At the start of 1985 and now living in London, Patricia Morrison formed the band Fur Bible with guitarist Kid Congo Powers, who had exited the Gun Club after their 1984 UK tour.

Fur Bible then played a short tour in Holland as backing band, with Patricia Morrison wearing a blonde Dolly Parton wig onstage, to the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, in order to reimburse the Dutch promoter who had paid for Tex's travel.

Fur Bible's final concert was in Maastricht in March 1986; the band had a further sixty dates lined up, but during the Banshees tour Patricia Morrison had been invited by Andrew Eldritch to join the Sisters of Mercy, and she left Fur Bible.

Patricia Morrison played on the 1986 album Gift and on the Sisters of Mercy's 1987 album Floodland, and appeared in the promo videos.

Patricia Morrison left the band at the end of 1989, claiming money owed by Eldritch was not paid.

Patricia Morrison put together a band and played a three month European tour, but found some of the musicians lacked the necessary commitment, and dissolved the group on return to the UK.

Patricia Morrison had been friends with, and a musical fan of, The Damned for "many years", and in 1996 Captain Sensible suggested she join them to replace bassist Paul Gray, who had been injured by a beer glass thrown from the audience during a concert.

In 2005, after giving birth to the couple's child the previous year, Patricia Morrison officially retired from The Damned.
