Patterns Form

Opening For WEST INDIAN GIRL Sept. 19th!

About Me

Patterns Form began in the year of the millenium dragon, in Austin,Tx., when Sammy Ragland and Chris Ornelas created a sound combining shoegaze, trip hop, electronic, and industrial influences.
What began as a project soon turned into a full band consisting of Eric Milliken, and Kat Fraley. Changes in the band came about and put in place Melissa Fair and Nicholas Burdohan. Through the changes,with both line-ups, Patterns Form played live shows in downtown Austin clubs such as the Flamingo Cantina and Elysium.
With Chris Ornelas and Nicholas Burdohan moving to the east and west parts of the states in 2004, Patterns Form was put on hiatus.
In 2005 Chris Ornelas restored the Patterns Form project based out of Los Angeles. After working with Los Angeles based musicians in the years to come, 2008 would mark the year for the official Patterns Form debut release... a second chapter, the beautiful beginning.
Patterns Form , long awaited debut LP will be released beginning of 2008. The LP will be titled "Beautiful Beginning of a Tragic End". As the title suggests, the tracks on this debut deals with love & life, & the loss of the two...any literal interpretations are decided by the individual listener.
A full band live performance is currently in the making for live shows in the first quarter of 2008 along the West Coast from San Diego to San Francisco, as well as Las Vegas.
