Minimal Man

:(This page is about the American industrial band. For the British electronic project of Peter Adshead and Ian Loveday of the same name, see Minimal Man(2)).
Minimal Man was an American industrial and experimental rock project, formed in 1979 in San Francisco, California by leader Patrick Miller.
Minimal Man was formed in San Francisco, California in 1979 by leader Patrick Miller. The band often changed members, featuring at different times members of bands such as Tuxedomoon, 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.
Miller died at his home in Eagle Rock on December 14, 2003.
