Andy Kubiszewski

Andrew Kubiszewski (born September 30, 1961) is an American musician, songwriter, remixer and producer. He has worked with bands Exotic Birds and Stabbing Westward, contributed to several other bands, and composed music for TV shows and films.

Kubiszewski attended Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Music where he studied percussion.

In 1982, Kubiszewski, Tom Freer and Timothy Adams Jr. formed the synthpop group, Exotic Birds, while they were studying at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The three wrote their own music,[citation needed] and Kubiszewski was lead singer and guitarist. They achieved local success, appearing as an opening band for Culture Club, Eurythmics, and Information Society. Frank Vale joined the band as an additional keyboardist in September 1984.

The band broke up for the first time in February, 1985 but reformed a year later as a five-piece band. The line up changed and members came and went over the years.

In 1993, Kubiszewski left the group to play drums with and later for Crowded House, The The, Nine Inch Nails, and Prick although he returned for a final gig on January 22, 1994.

In 1996, Kubiszewski joined the band Stabbing Westward as drummer.

The band, which originally consisted of guitarist, Christopher Hall, keyboardists, Walter Flakus and Stuart Zechman and drummer, David Suycott, released its debut album in 1994. David Suycott abruptly dropped out of the band toward the end of the Ungod tour and Andy Kubiszewski was called in to replace Suycott for the remainder of the shows. This fast replacement required Kubiszewski to learn all of Suycott's parts while on his flight to meet with the band. Kubiszewski would become a permanent fixture of Stabbing Westward.

Jim Sellers, and Mark Eliopoulous also joined the group in 1996. After Zechman's departure, Kubiszewski took over some songwriting duties as well as some guitar duties. He played the band dozens of demos and Exotic Birds recordings, and a number of those tracks ended up on Stabbing Westward's Wither and Darkest Days albums.
