'''Nick Rushe''' was the keyboardist for [[Nine Inch Nails]] for a brief period in 1989, during the [["Pretty Hate Machine" Promotional Tour]]. He replaced [[Chris Vrenna]] on the keyboards, so that Vrenna would be able to play drums for the band. He also played additional guitar on "[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]" during this tour. [[David Haymes]] took Rushe's place in Nine Inch Nails after his departure.
Prior to the NIN tour, Rushe had played keyboards in 1989 for [[Cool Down Daddy]] with [[Sean Beavan]].[https://cplorg.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/iiif/p16014coll5/39034/full/full/0/default.jpg] [https://cplorg.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/api/singleitem/image/p16014coll5/38961/default.jpg] He joined the band [[Exotic Birds]] in 1990, after his tenure in Nine Inch Nails.
