Timeline
Andrew Douglas Paley (born November 2, 1952) is an American songwriter, record producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist who formed the Paley Brothers, a 1970s power pop duo, with his brother Jonathan Paley.
He has also worked in film and television, composing scores and writing songs mostly for cartoons such as The Ren & Stimpy Show, Digimon, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Camp Lazlo.
Andy is the son of Henry Paley, a college administrator and lobbyist, and Cabot Barber Paley, a teacher and therapist.
He is the third of five children and grew up near Albany, New York.
His younger sister Sarah is married to former U.S. senator Bob Kerrey.
The Sidewinders broke up in the mid-1970s.
Andy went on to form The Paley Brothers with his younger brother Jonathan, a guitar/bass player and singer who also was part of the early Boston punk scene and had played with Boston and NYC bands such as Mong.
They disintegrated as an act in 1979 when Jonathan joined the Nervous Eaters.
Although the Nervous Eaters collapsed after Ric Ocasek, who had produced their demo, was not permitted to produce their second album, the Paley Brothers did not reform.
Said Jonathan, "It was more of an evolution. Andy went on the road with Patti Smith's band and got into production work; I went and sailed around the world."
In 1979, Andy Paley played guitar on Jonathan Richman's album Back in Your Life, and continued to perform on and off with Richman and later incarnations of the Modern Lovers, and produce many of their recordings, through the 1980s.
• Professor Anonymous - Living In The World (1980)
• The Real Kids – Outta Place (1982)
• The Real Kids – Hit You Hard (1983)
• Border Boys – Tribute (1983)
He produced Richman's 1985 album Rockin' and Romance.
Andy then focused on songwriting, session work and record production while working with Madonna, k.d. lang, Mandy Barnett, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elton John, Brenda Lee, Little Richard and many others.
• Boys Wonder – Now What Earthman?
In 1988, Paley produced and co-wrote songs on Wilson's solo comeback album Brian Wilson, and continued to work with him on unreleased material in the 1990s.
Wilson described Paley as a multi-instrumentalist with "a lot of talent for anything you can think of. ... He's the most frighteningly talented person that I've met, and the most serious about music."
He produced the soundtracks for Dick Tracy (1990) and A Walk on the Moon (1999) and wrote the original music for Traveller (1997, starring Bill Paxton).
In 2009 he contributed to the soundtrack of World's Greatest Dad, directed by Bobcat Goldthwait and starring Robin Williams.
He also wrote the musical score for Season One of Showtime's The L Word.
Paley also scored for cartoons such as The Ren & Stimpy Show, and later wrote and produced the music for Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants.
In 2010, he married Heather Crist in a ceremony officiated by Kerrey.
He began performing in his early teens as a drummer and singer for local Albany-area bands before moving to Boston.
He was a founding member and the drummer of the Boston, Massachusetts band, Catfish Black, which also included future Modern Lovers members Jerry Harrison and Ernie Brooks.
The band was renamed the Sidewinders and was later joined by Billy Squier.
The band performed around Boston and in NYC at venues like Max's Kansas City.
They released an album, produced by Lenny Kaye, which featured songs written and sung by Paley.
