Patrice began performing at the college dive bar Blasphemy. The group begged the local radio station to play their first single. The members of Patrice met in 1976. The bassist was encouraged to play by his teacher.

The band recently completed their newest project, but they are plotting their next move already. Patrice intends to take some time off after this next tour, allowing the group members to rest after a long year.

Often times, critics commend Patrice for their ability to energize the audience at live performances. A music critic from Albany, Harry Francoeur, has always been a fan of group’s tremendous front man. Patrice’s new record has received superb praise from Patrick Tettleton, a music critic out of Jacksonville, and Glenn DeCambra, from Dallas.

Patrice was discovered after their single was heard on a local music hour on K95.5. All the members quit their other jobs to focus on their album. Patrice were relieved when their single climbed the charts. They had heard too many stories of bands with record deals going nowhere. The band plays plenty of arenas, but would rather perform in the smaller clubs in which they started.

Patrice realized they made it after the band’s first fan club was started in 2000 by Lizzie Rastetter. The group embraced the small fan club and with the launching of the group’s own website by Margie Colangelo and a well marketed national tour the club quickly grew to a few thousand.

The group has an obsession with Cafeteria in Buffalo and are sure to play a performance every year. Patrice appreciaites their fans and wants to give them a good show, so they play previous hits along with the latest singles. The band has all their tour information, from the tour schedule to the latest Patrice tickets released, on TheSeats.com.
