Formed in San Francisco in 1979, Catholic Discipline soon moved to Los Angeles. Their founding lineup was Claude Bessy (editor, Slash Fanzine), Phranc (Nervous Gender) on guitar, Rick Brodey Morrison (husband to Patricia Morrison of The Bags and The Gun Club) on bass guitar. Robert Lopez of the Zeros, later known as El Vez, the Mexican punk Elvis, replaced original keyboardist Richard Meade, and in the drum seat former Bags member Craig Lee. In their short existence they never released anything official, but they became well known for their appearance in the groundbreaking documentary by Penelope Spheeris ‘The Decline Of Western Civilization’ (1980) along with The Germs, Black Flag, X, Fear and The Alice Bag Band.
