The band was named [Victoria Manor](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Victoria_Manor&action=edit&redlink=1). The band played shows in the high desert and recorded a three-song demo. After several years the band members parted ways and Keith and Riddle formed a new band called Zero Tolerance with drummer [Rob Kurth](/source/Rob_Kurth) and guitarist [Mark Haake](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Haake&action=edit&redlink=1). Zero Tolerance drew heavily upon Keith's new wave influences but like Victoria Manor last just a short period of time. ### Face to Face After Zero Tolerance disbanded in early 1991, Keith formed Face to Face with bassist Matt Riddle and drummer Rob Kurth. Cited as a seminal [California punk](/source/Punk_rock_in_California) group, Face to Face has released nine full-length albums in their nearly 25-year history. In 2004 Face to Face disbanded to allow the band members the opportunity to focus on other projects. During this time, the band released a CD/DVD compilation, *[Shoot the Moon](/source/Shoot_the_Moon%3A_Essential_Collection)*, on Keith's label, Antagonist Records. The DVD features a career retrospective documentary 'Punk Rock Eats Its Own - A Film About Face to Face' along with the band's final performance from their 'Only Goodbye Tour' at the House Of Blues in Los Angeles, CA on September 19, 2004. On January 29, 2008, Keith announced via Face to Face's official website that the band had reunited, for a number of shows in the [US](/source/United_States).[3] On April 5, 2008, the band performed together for the first time in four years at The Bamboozle Left festival in Orange County, CA. Since then the band has continued to perform numerous live shows since and has recorded 3 more records. ### Outside Face to Face In 1999 Keith produced the album *Blindside* by the band [Peel](/source/Peel_(California_band)) fronted by former [Ridel High](/source/Ridel_High) singer [Kevin Ridel](/source/Kevin_Ridel). After Face to Face's initial break up in 2004, Keith retreated out of the limelight to focus on several music projects including, his debut solo record, his record label Antagonist Records, and also formed the remix / mash-up duo [The Legion of Doom](/source/Legion_of_Doom_(mash_up_group)) with creative partner Chad Blinman. Keith also contributed to the Once Percent Panic album as member of the band [Viva Death](/source/Viva_Death) along with face to face bassist Scott Shiflett. Also, Keith was a guest vocalist on "People Like You Are Why People Like Me Exist" by [Say Anything](/source/Say_Anything_(band)). ### Solo career In February 2008, Keith released his debut solo album *Melancholics Anonymous* on his own label Antagonist Records.
