Keith Baxter (drummer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keith Baxter (February 19, 1971 – January 4, 2008) was a British rock drummer. He was born in Morecambe, Lancashire, UK.

As a teenager he became a founder member of Skyclad, recording five albums with them before leaving in 1995 to move to London and join 3 Colours Red, with whom he recorded two U.K top 40 albums (Pure and Revolt) and six Top 40 singles.

Following the split of the band in 1999 he formed the band Elevation with former bandmate from 3 Colours Red, Pete Vuckovic. The pair signed with Sony but were dropped a year later. He moved back to his hometown of Lancaster and briefly played with the Northern Irish band, Therapy? in 2002. 3 Colours Red formed again soon after that to record a third album (The Union of Souls), but split up again, permanently, in 2005. ^[1]

Following this split Baxter played with Baby Judas, but died in January 2008 at the age of 36 as a result of a gastro-intestinal haemorrage.
