Keith Babcock

....
I was named after Keith Moon and John Bonham by my father who is also a drummer.(some big shoes/glasses to fill!) The music bug hit me hard around the age of 6 (I think because of the Animal/Buddy Rich drum battle on the Muppet show) and at 7 I got into the drums with help from my father . Naturally my first big influence was Keith Moon when I saw the movie "The kids are allright" by Jeff Stein about The Who. That movie really floored me and I still love it to this day. I was involved with anything music in school and really on some days that is the only reason I went. I skipped school to read about Buddy Rich at the libary! I was blessed to have some really great music teachers that let me do my thing and exposed me to some really great artists.
After doing that for a while I'm exploring some different roads.. I am playing on and off with electronic act Bizune a real treat for the eyes and ears So check them out!
I’m recording with a Drum and Bass duo, It’s all B.S (Babcock& Smith)- Featuring Dave“gater”Smith on strings and myself on various rhythmic devices with various special guests.
New tracks coming soon !
I'm currently working on some solo compositions and using various acoustic, electronics, home made drums/percussion with a Radio Shack keyboard(oops I mean The Source) and primitive software. I’m writing a lot of songs that sound like they should be a soundtrack for something sneaking in the back door and killing you while you are sleeping!
Or at the very least, the soundtrack of a mental health ward. These will be available for release some time in the future.
When Bizune are on a hiatus, you can find me busking downtown at various intersections (sometimes with “gater”), or at the various jam nights, sitting in with local acts in Toronto, Canada. (If you see me busking and let me know that you heard about me on Myspace you will receive a special prize!)
Enjoy!
