Andrew W.K. sets 24 hour drumming world record
Friday, June 21, 2013 at 2:39 PM (PST) by Screeching Bottlerocket
Remember how Andrew W.K. said he planned to attempt to drum for 24 hours consecutive hours on June 19th at O Music's Live Music Day Festival? Well, like a true champion, the party machine did it! He drummed his ass off and set the world record for "Longest Drumming Set in a Retail Store." He had the following to say afterwards:
"Every emotion and every feeling from the most excited and happy to the most — I don't wanna ever say I was sad, but in severe pain — like real physical pain. I didn't anticipate that at all. I actually never got tired because there was so much adrenaline and so many people that were especially giving so much energy. It really felt like a team effort."

Party guru Andrew W.K. has announced that he will be the vocalist for Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg during their upcoming tour. This is what Marky Ramone had to say about it:
I first met Andrew through a mutual friend and he told me about his party philosophy, which has also always been my exact take on life. We went into the rehearsal studio and it just clicked. We had so much fun that we wanted to invite everyone to the party. I've said before and I will say it again, these songs are too good not to be played live!!!

Andrew W.K. premieres two videos for "It's Time to Party"
Thursday, August 16, 2012 at 10:22 AM (PST) by Bizarro Dustin
Party rocker Andrew WK has just released two music videos for his song "It's Time to Party". The song comes from WK's seminal 2001 album "I Get Wet" and the videos are meant to celebrate the upcoming deluxe reissue of the album.
While the first video for the song is standard music video fare, that being playing the song over a montage of crazy antics, it's the second video that takes the concept to a new level and really has you question what a music video really is. It's the exact same music video, only without the music and just a bunch of sound effects. Think Tim and Eric.
You can watch both music videos here.
The deluxe reissue of "I Get Wet" comes out on August 28, via Century Media Records.
Andrew W.K. includes dirty jeans, hair in special anniversary edition of "I Get Wet"
Friday, August 3, 2012 at 11:44 AM (PST) by Rachel
As if you weren't excited enough for Andrew W.K.'s 10-year anniversary edition of "I Get Wet," (due out August 28th via Century Media) we have more news about what's in store for a super limited (500) double-disc autographed edition of the CD. Aside from an autographed 20 page booklet, personal items of Andrew W.K.'s will also be included at random—items such as a piece of his stage-worn and filthy white jeans (cut into 496 pieces), a lock of his unwashed hair (for 3 fans) and an autographed plane ticket stub for one lucky fan. A bloody-nose air freshener will be included for those lucky enough to get dirty jeans or hair in their package, in order to combat any smells. This is what the party-king had to say:
"I wanted to give a piece of myself and this party to everyone who got one of these limited editions," explains W.K. "Originally, I had wanted to include used tissues and one of my hangnails, but I was told that international customs doesn't allow sending human flesh or bodily fluids in music packaging. So I decided to give the party people my dirty white jeans and hair instead. My jeans and hair give me party power-kind of like Dumbo's magic feather. They're blessed with the power of positive partying, and I hope that these objects bring even more magical partying to anyone who possesses them."

Andrew W.K. toured to promote the 10 year anniversary of "I Get Wet" earlier this year and is also hopefully releasing a new album in the future.
