Keith Austin Murray (born May 10, 1977) is lead vocalist/guitarist of the indie rock band We Are Scientists, with
Chris Cain(bass).

We Are Scientists rose to fame when they were noticed by NME magazine and were asked to join Mystery Jets, Maxïmo Park, and Arctic Monkeys on the NME awards tour 2006.

Keith reportedly clashes with Editors' singer Tom Smith. However Keith states this is false and claims they are like "a married couple".

During the NME tour, the group developed a working relationship with the Arctic Monkeys, and toured together later that year.

He was nominated for World's Sexiest Vegetarian 2007, losing out to Davey Havok of AFI. [ [http://www.peta2.com/OUTTHERE/o-sexyveg07-winners.asp peta2 // Out There // Havok and Bell: World's Sexiest Vegetarians for 2007! ] ] He was nominated again in 2008, but lost to Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance. Also, he was nominated in 2006 but lost to Prince.

Keith is always seen playing a white-blond Fender Telecaster. He used to use a white Fender Jazzmaster too. His choice in amps are Fender Hot Rod DeVille's but lately he has been using a BadCat combo.

Education

He attended Cooper City High School (Class of 1995) in Florida, [ [http://web.archive.org/web/20020301193138/wearescientists.com/easter1.htm They blinded me with science ] ] and graduated from Pomona College in 1999 with a degree in English Literature (or "reading," as Chris Cain has jocularly called it).

Personal life

Keith is a vegetarian, this is why he donates half of his earnings each year to peta

There were rumours on wikipedia of his sexual promiscuity, which I can assure you are not true. I heard this from the man himself, budz.
