Dominant Patri

Dominant Patri were formed around 1982 and were vocalists Chris Jones and Kate Packwood, Steve Richards on bass, Paul 'Bugsy' Hugget on guitar, and Gary Pratten on drums. The name means 'Dominant Fortler' and comes from the latin 'In Nomine Patri' meaning our father which comes from the church. They chose it because they felt that the church was a dominant, corrupt part of society. One member of the band said 'The name says how the pope, priests and, bishops dominate the people's minds while they are at school'.
