From Official Biography:

Patrick L has actively been involved in music since the 1977 when at the age of sixteen he started playing drums and percussion and various instruments in several punk and post punk experimental bands. His first studio release recorded in 1978/9, was a 7’ vinyl EP by The Runners from 84 with his old school friend R Butler, who later also became a member of Death in June during the Nada period.

The Runners can be described as a strange mixture of the Fall and Joy division and were quite experimental for the time ,using early synths , tape loops multi effected drums and bass. Probably unknown to many Tony Wakeford joined the Runners before the formation of Death in June,adding an extra and very distinctive dimension to the last moments of the Runners. Some Characteristics of early Death in June were evident in the Runners such as Patrick’s militaristic drumming style on some songs, the use of military trumpets and the wearing of camouflage and masks. Patrick’s ss decals upon a leather jacket and a belt buckle made from a WW2 steel plaque of Hitler’s profile perhaps spelt of things to come. Though all of these things were later highly refined by all three members of DIJ.

In 1980 Patrick joined Douglas Pearce and Tony wakeford, formally of the post punk band Crisis ,to form Death in June, after being given a demo cassette of early incarnations of 4 songs,one of which was Heaven street.

    There are a few spelling variations for this band, so smaller scrobble numbers should be expected for some of them.
