Keith Barney is best known as the original singer of Throwdown and the guitarist of Eighteen Visions. Hailing from Laguna Niguel, CA, he began his career as a musician by playing guitar in Adamantium. While a member of Adamantium, he formed Throwdown, and played guitar for Death By Stereo recording one album with them - If Looks Could Kill, I'd Watch You Die. Upon his departure from Adamantium and Death By Stereo, he joined Eighteen Visions, and eventually left Throwdown. Since the breakup of 18V, he has formed the bands Rain and Never Enough with Trevor Friedrich, and joined Love Thyne for their final line-up before they broke up.
On October 16, 2008, it was announced that Barney had started a new band with other 18 Visions alumni called Monument to Thieves. Barney played guitar in the band at formation, but now has moved on to vocals.
Barney went to graphic design school and now has his own company, making websites, logos and artwork for bands.
Famous quotes containing the words keith and/or barney:
“A turkey is more occult and awful than all the angels and archangels. In so far as God has partly revealed to us an angelic world, he has partly told us what an angel means. But God has never told us what a turkey means. And if you go and stare at a live turkey for an hour or two, you will find by the end of it that the enigma has rather increased than diminished.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“There are ... intangible realities which float near us, formless and without words; realities which no one has thought out, and which are excluded for lack of interpreters.”
—Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)
