The split Cliff with M.I.A. is awesome! You can get all their discography  
on Alternative Tentacles. :)

I don't know really who he was.... He played in that  terrible band 
Genocide who did a split LP with Las Vegas's M.I.A.   The last I saw of the Misfits 
was when they played in June of 1983 with  the Black Flag reunion singer 
show and the Vandals. Robo from Black Flag  was drumming with them by this 
time i believe.

Brian "Damage" Keats, who played drums in the  _Misfits_ 
(http://www.spinner.com/tag/Misfits/)  during its final  _Glenn Danzig_ 
(http://www.spinner.com/tag/GlennDanzig/) -helmed lineup,  died Tuesday after battling liver 
cancer, _according to a press  release_ 
(http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=133423) . Keats, who was 46, was 
also a  veteran of punk bands Verbal Abuse and Genocide.

Damage was first  asked by Danzig to join the Misfits in the autumn of 1983 
and played with  the band at a Halloween gig in Detroit . The show wound up 
being the final  Misfits gig with the frontman.

But Keats, a Brooklyn native, was  undaunted, remaining on the New York 
music scene throughout the 1980s,  playing with a long run of outfits like 
Hellbent, the Kretins, the  Hellhounds, the Skulls, Angels in Vain, Princess 
Pang, Raging Slab and the  Diamondbacks.

Keats eventually settled in Los Angeles and  collaborated with outfits like 
Sylvain Sylvain, Low Pop Suicide, the  Fusztones and even former _Bangles_ 
(http://www.spinner.com/tag/Bangles/)  frontwoman _Susanna Hoffs_ 
(http://www.spinner.com/tag/SusannaHoffs/) , among a long  run of others. He is 
survived by his wife and one child.
