Patrick Ogle

Patrick Ogle (once known as Padraic Ogl) was a member of the gothic ambient band Black Tape for a Blue Girl. Ogle was a long-time friend of band leader and Projekt Records founder Sam Rosenthal. Ogle performed on the band's A Chaos of Desire album and later wrote and performed the title track on This Lush Garden Within. He has also written for the Miami Herald, most notably in the business section, travel articles, and humor pieces in the Herald's weekly magazine, Street.[1]

Ogle and Rosenthal formed the band Thanatos in the mid-1980s, releasing a cassette. There would not be another track recorded until a morose, dirge-like cover of K.C. and the Sunshine Band's "Thats The Way (I Like It)" appeared on the Projekt compilation From Across This Grey Land 3. Ogle and Rosenthal released the band's first full length, This Endless Night Inside, in 1993, followed two years later by the doom-laden An Embassy to Gaius.

At this point the band became a live act, enlisting guitarist William Tucker (of Pigface, Chris Connelly Band, Ministry, and Foetus) and bassist Eric Polcyn (of Godbullies). The band toured the US and Canada on three short tours and recorded the final Thanatos record, Blisters (1997), which was primarily a collaboration between Ogle and Tucker.

In 1999 Tucker committed suicide at the age of 38. Ogle removed himself from music, releasing only one disc of previously recorded material, under the name Illegalteenagebikini, in 2003. Ogle also ran Precipice Recordings, releasing compilations and releases from bands such as Claire Voyant, Sunday Munich and Trance to the Sun.

Thanatos reformed in 2005 but has only played a handful of shows in Chicago since that time. The band's The Exterminating Angel LP [2] was released via Bandcamp on April 23, 2013. [3]
