Andrew Loefke

Andrew Loefke, also known as LoF or andy13, is a veteran bassist and vocalist with decades of experience in rock and roll. His sound is heavily influenced by British blues, East Coast punk, and psychedelic rock, resulting in a heavy, loud, and relentless musical style. Loefke is an active member of the Buffalo, New York music scene, currently performing with six bands: Chloroform, Iron Fist, Tombstone Hands, Shoot Ya, Cowboy Vampires, and Bitey. He also regularly organizes and participates in one-off projects and short-term musical events for charity and tributes. Music runs in his family, with his grandfather, Alvin Loefke, being a professional pedal steel player who had charted songs in the 1950s. Loefke's career began early; he was playing clubs by the age of 12 and touring North America in his twenties. Throughout his career, he has released multiple records, worked as a session musician, and even composed music for a ballet. In addition to his performance career, Loefke spent over eight years as the front-of-house sound production manager at Mohawk Place, a well-known music venue in Buffalo. Andrew visited the Flamingo Lounge on September 8, 2025 for an intmate conversation on his music and touring life.
