Artist History Keith Patchel recorded his first album, Field of Fire with Richard Lloyd of TELEVISION. His latest album produced in Bogota, Colombia by Warner Bros. Eclipse, was distributed in Colombia, then banned and eventually blacklisted. Keith wrote and produced a much too controversial song about Pablo Escobar-drug lord of Medallin- on the record. Keith returned to the Lower East Side and plunged headfirst into the land of Electronica. In 1997 he discovered Melinda Bardos. They CO-produced a CD together and enjoyed an immediate musical bond.Up until 1997 Melinda Bardos fronted bands like Scoop (an all girl punk band) and Karma (a hardrock/ska band). She opened for the Fun Loving Criminals with Karma at NYC's, Tunnel nightclub, and Boston's ska band, Bim Skala Bim at NYC's, Limelight nightclub. Both Keith and Melinda spend every weekend since that fateful day in 1997 recording and producing what is now Digital Daddy.
