Goto commentsLeave a commentShare An 800 Horsepower Dump Truck, Re-Fueled Before party-hearty impresario Andrew W.K. became the indefatigable rock star-cum-motivational speaker we've come to know and adore--or in some uptight sectors of the music sphere, loathe--exactly 10 years ago today, the classically trained Michigan native made his love-it-or-hate-it debut with I Get Wet...

Sound: Andrew W.K. has been in my top 5 musicians since he debuted in 2001, his upbeat, pounding beats mixed with his thrashy, yet oddly happy voice and lyrics, created "I Get Wet" which you can't help but move to. His second album, "The Wolf", was a little different. This album is of critical importance to Andrew's music because of how big of a transition it is. The album does contain classic W.K...

Sound: Ready to be cheered up? Because that is exactly what you get when listening to this album. With 3 guitarists often laying out the same heavy chords simultaneously added to an often catchy and positive-sounding keyboard line, again, added to the odd and occasionally paradoxal lyrics of Andrew, you get some of the most uplifting music you can imagine. This breakthrough album is about one main topic, partying...

Ten years after its release, I Get Wet remains one of the most ridiculously fun records of all time. So it's no wonder that its creator, Andrew W.K., sold out Philadelphia's Theatre of the Living Arts March 30 when he promised to perform the record in its entirety. Granted, fans had to get through some less than stellar openers, but once W.K. and his band took to the stage, there was abundant partying. The openers were odd pairings for W.K.'s brand of party-centric hard rock...

There's this little lingering strand of incredulity that happens the first time you hear that Andrew W.K. was, as it's put in so many of the articles about him, "classically trained". He looks like the frat-guy musclehead who went to college for the babes and who's majoring in kegstands 101, and the music he released way back in '02 did nothing to dispel that notion...

Andrew W.K. is back to. well, to tell you all about how cool it is to party. A thematic three-way between partying, sex and love. By track 2 he's yapping about wanting to have a party and how we can't kill a party, in between piano chords and gang-choruses. He's slowly becoming a classic guilty pleasure - half way between great party rock and complete and utter embarrassment. For his part, Andrew W.K...

A selection of Andrew WK's Facebook status updates: "Walking down Broadway and Just saw a young dog with a perfectly round head. it was partying!" "It's amazing how these two little words pretty much say all that there is to be said about life: PARTY HARD" "Here's a mindset for today: Do exactly what YOU really want to do, and enjoy every second of it. That's how we party hard." "GOOD MORNING. HAVE SOME FUN. PARTY HARD." And so on...

Where to begin with Andrew W.K? Since his debut album "I Get Wet" in 2001, Andrew W.K has tiresomely spread the word of "partying" throughout the heavy rock scene. Best known for songs such as 'Party Hard' and 'We Want Fun,' Andrew W.K has never really been taken seriously in the music world. However, just because Andrew W.K has not had the same commercial success as many of his peers, this doesn't mean that he has had any less of a following...

Coming back from an Andrew WK gig last night, where the eclectic artist performed for only just over half hour, my flatmates comment was "oh well, after all he doesn't have much material...". Wrong. For Andrew WK may be famous for his immortal anthem 'Party Hard', but US Number 1 album "I Get Wet" is not the first or the last work the adoptive New Yorker has produced...
