Alexander was the guitarist for the late 1980s thrash band Carnivore (fronted by Peter Steele, the goth-metal band Type O Negative) and Primal Scream. During the late 1990s he was a member of Dee Snider's SMFs.
Worked as a talent finder, though technically credited as "Piercing consultant"[1] on Dee Sniders movie 1998 movie Strangeland. For reasons of both cost savings with special effects and sense of reality in appearance, Keith went within the body mod community for extra's who were modded for some roles.
Alexander died in a bicycle accident on July 11, 2005. He lost control while passing a child on a bike and crashed into a fence on Shore Road, Bay Ridge Brooklyn. It was reported that had he been wearing a helmet he would likely have survived.[2]
