About Me
First, there was this ginormous explosion, that, like, came right out of the sky. And a bunch more cool shit happened, and then like BLAM, there I was. Umm that's it I guess. ____________________________________________________________

________MANAGEMENT APPROVED BIO:
In these days of premanufactured, plastic assembly line entertainers, it's refreshing, nay a REVELATION to find a artist as singularly gifted as Andy Love. His music is a tasty pastiche of many colours from many different countries, although he himself has only been in three countries. His lyrics can send a sharp thorny dagger of truth through your soul while simutaneously engaging your mind and making you think thoughts you had never thought before, or perhaps had thought and then forgotten, in which case he'd be making you remember thoughts that you had previously thought before.
His deep understanding of the inner workings of the human soul will have you transfixed and knowing that, without even knowing you, he knows you better than you know yourself. Or at least equally.
Refusing to bow to the commercially induced pressure to "conform", have the "it" look, or the "now" sound, or to engage in "personal hygiene", Andy Love has truly cut his own path. He refuses to cling to the old outdated cliches of music but strives to create new ones which will hopefully be copied, oversaturated and forgotten shortly thereafter.
Multi talented on several instruments and a small number of motorised vehicles, Andy Love can play 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon, eat a sandwich, and send a text message simultaneously. His rare combination of artistic genius and laundry-folding ability is a special gift to the world, and rare.
His live performances have left dozens breathless and panting. Some have been seen to expectorate. His unique combination of sexual energy, societal ennui, positive spiritual energy, low blood pressure, loose fitting trousers, giant antenna, and a band, all combine to create a truly unforgettable live experience.
His look, that of a true natural born rock star, creates a frustrating wall of coolness which separates him from average and below average people, which he finds frustrating. "I never wanted to be better than everybody else" says Love, "it just turned out that way. I feel a big cold unhappy wall of coolness which makes me feel sad and cold and unhappy. People are just scared to be friends with me even though I'm completely approachable. Unless, you know, you're ugly or poor or something." It is this humble attitude towards his own life that keeps his feet on the earth, despite his head being in the stars. Andy Love is more than just a musician. He is an icon, warrior poet, scientist lover, sane madman, a sober drunk, a junkie person- who-is-not-on-drugs, and a giver thief. Except that he doesn't actually steal things. Just your heart.
If the music of Andy Love, and indeed his soul, takes you to a new place where you had always been, you can feel special in knowing that millions and millions of people around the world are sharing the exact same experience as you.
Feel free to worship me-I mean him. ____________________________________________________________
