Minimal Man was formed in San Francisco, California in 1979 by leader Patrick Miller, a visual and sound artist who moved to San Francisco in the late 1970s.[citation needed] The band often changed members, featuring at different times members of bands such as Tuxedomoon,[1]Factrix and others active in the then-thriving San Francisco experimental, post-punk and industrial scenes.
Minimal Man remained active in San Francisco recording on the Subterranean Records label until the mid-1980s, after which Miller relocated to Europe, often working with compatriots Tuxedomoon who had made a similar move previously.
The Minimal Man output ceased after the 1980s, and Miller returned to Los Angeles, where he worked as a set dresser.[2]
Miller died at his home in Eagle Rock on December 14, 2003.[2]
