I've only just read this shocking news... Saw Keith play with the awesome 3 Colours Red a bunch of times (and met him briefly a few times). Check http://www.myspace.com/3cr if haven't listened to them - or just to remind yourself how great they were. I loved that band. Still do. RIP Keith. Condolences to Keith's family and friends.

It is with a truly heavy heart that we acknowledge the passing of good friend and musician Keith Baxter. Many of you will know that he was the vastly talented drummer with Three Colours Red who helped Therapy? out in 2002 and was on our Scandanavian tour as well as many summer festivals that year.

All of us are in shock and our thoughts are with Rachael and his family as well as any former bandmates and crew who spent time with him.

An intelligent and humble man whose wide eyed sense of excitement was infectious, he will be missed by many and will always have a special place in our hearts.

Love and Respect,

Therapy?

I saw 3CR twice - supporting Kiss in 1997 and supporting Marilyn Manson in 98. Like you, I'm shocked to hear this, as he's still young.

Oh no! I'm so sad to hear this. 3CR were one of the first bands I followed around the country. I spent a lot of time doing that in 1997, when I first moved to london. I met Keith a few times and he was lovely. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
