I guess I will introduce myself as Stephen's little brother, since that is likely who I will be referred to, as I always am. Although few people recognize me as one, I am a singer/songwriter. I am often noted as that dorff member that tries to hide from the media. They have even gone so far as to label me a loner. I prefer to explain it away as

A singer who hides from the media? I'm not sure whether success is assured in this particular case. Of course it works a lot better with song writing. Either way, welcome, Andrew. And let me ask the question everybody in our métier hates to answer: what is your music like?

[andrew_dorff]

Yes, prehaps the question I loathe the most, particularly because I think we'd all like to think we're original. I think I am. But, Tom Waits, David Bowie, Leon Redbone, Lou Reed tend to be who I'm usually compared to.

Constantly striving for some sort of uniqueness is what makes us all alike... With my band, we went as far as to call the style of music we were making at the time "Love Metal"... we had this idea that record stores would have to put a rack with "Love Metal" in their facilities and us being the only artist in there. We stopped the silliness when other bands started calling what they did "Love Metal."

I like some of the people you named there. Is your music available in Europe?

[andrew_dorff]

Yes, in fact that is largely where my success was/is.

Well then... would you list album names, maybe, or singles, even?

[andrew_dorff]

Album, "HInt of Mess", single "Supercool".
I have a new album coming out, you may be able to find it there already actually, if you look, "Hungover & Up"
