Drew McDowall started out making music in Glasgow in 1978, playing in punk group The Poems with his then wife Rose McDowall (who would go on to form Strawberry Switchblade). In the early 1980s McDowall relocated to London and became involved in the industrial scene there, working with Genesis P-Orridge and Psychic TV, then later with Sleazy Pete Christopherson and John Balance in Coil. McDowall has lived in New York for the past decade, regularly collaborating with Tres Warren in their project Compound Eye, as well as doing production work.
