Sister 7
Due to naming conflicts over the name 'Little Sister' particularly by a band in Boston and in the midst of being signed by Arista Records, the band name was changed to Sister 7. Pike is known as front woman for this seminal Austin jam band, which she co-founded soon after attending of The High School for the performing and visual arts at Booker T. Washington in Dallas, Texas.
Their first major label album was an anomaly as it was a live recording which at that time was unusual in the music industry for a new breaking band on a major label. Patrice wrote and sang Sister Seven’s top 10 Billboard hit “Know What You Mean’. She was the USA Songwriting Competition Grand Prize Winner overall for the song “My Three Wishes”, co-written with her Sister Seven band members. In this contest she also garnered top prize for Pop category for “Nobody Knows” written with songwriter/producer John Shanks. Just after the making of their release "Wrestling Over Tiny Matters", Arista records executive staff imploded. The band lost its label affiliation in the much publicized Arista shakeup that culminated in the firing of music industry legend Clive Davis. Just after departing the label, they recorded Sister 7 Live and released a DVD "Three Times Live" recorded in three legendary venues including Antones, Steamboat and La Zona Rosa.
