[1] Patricia Anne Rainone was active in the Los Angeles, California punk rock scene even before graduating from high school in 1979, having had an early interest in music: "When I was 12 years old, I saved up every cent to buy a guitar.
"[4] Rainone and Alicia Armendariz, aka Alice Bag, met at school and formed their first band, Femme Fatale, in '1975 /1976', later re-named Masque Era.
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".
[8][9] At the start of 1985 and now living in London, Morrison formed the band Fur Bible with guitarist Kid Congo Powers, who had also exited the Gun Club after their 1984 UK tour.
Fur Bible then played a short tour in Holland as backing band, with 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.
[4] According to Jennifer Park: [T]he choice of Patricia Morrison as bassist - beginning with her work on Floodland (1987) - was not a decision made without weighing its aesthetic value.
Asked about her favourite memory from the Sisters of Mercy, Morrison recalled, "Petra, riding my little Arabian horse throughout the magnificent city"; this on location for the video shoot of Dominion.
[15][16] Due to an ongoing lawsuit with Eldritch, Morrison temporarily ceased working as a musician and instead became a motorcycle courier in London, later telling one interviewer; "I made more money than when I was with Sisters of Mercy, hahaha!".
She 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.
[8] 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.
[18] In 2019, Morrison provided the voice of the character Annabelle on horror punk band Creeper's second album, Sex, Death & the Infinite Void.
