	Andrew W.K. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andrew W.K. was born in Los Angeles, California, and grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where, at age 4, he began classical piano training through the University Of Michigan Music School.
		Andrew continued to be elusive when it came to live appearances, due to his seemingly endless recording schedule, but he did find time to release a live-concert movie entitled, "Who Knows?" and present five screenings of the movie in both New York City and Hollywood, February and April, 2006.
		Many contradictory versions of Andrew W.K.'s history and rise to celebrity have coexisted, with some of the contradictions seemingly coming from Andrew himself, however the source of the confusion is difficult to pin down.

	ANDREW WK INTERVIEW \| POPS NOBLE UNDERGROUND
		Andrew W.K. is set to release his second single entitled 'She Is Beautiful' on February 11th.
		Andrew W.K. launched himself hard on the British public late last year, playing his first ever live show at The Garage to a sideshow of indelicate hype, but more importantly, to a raging crowd.
		Andrew W.K.'s music, his P.R states, is a 'juggernaut explosion of sound, a non-stop pounding of radio pop, anthemic metal and the best of everything you have ever heard that is good, rolled into one'.

	Guardian \| Andrew WK
		On stage, WK's band create a racket pitched somewhere between the glam rock of the Sweet, the Ramones' wilfully moronic punk and the ludicrous 1980s metal of Motley Crue.
		One music-biz conspiracy theory currently circulating suggests that Andrew WK is an elaborate hoax devised by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl (WK has toured with Grohl's band the Foo Fighters).
		All WK's songs are essentially the same, and 45 minutes without any concession to rhythmic or melodic variation is pushing it a bit.

		The first-ever “Andrew W.K. Fan Convention” was a sweeping success in the city of brotherly love (Philadelphia) and made Andrew realize how important his music is to the people who make it possible for him to continue.
		Andrew was born in California and raised in Michigan.
		An interesting fact about Andrew is that after moving to New York at the age of 17, he traveled the city, wide-eyed and excited to be living on his own in a giant metropolis, finding inspiration in each thing he encountered and person he met.

	Rough Edge: Andrew W.K. CD Reviews
		The brilliance of Andrew WK still shines through despite all the overproduction and you can tell that the trademark Andrew WK music is basically there - it's just a bit hidden.
		I hope that that showcasing is out of their systems and their next release is just Andrew and the guys in a garage or basement somewhere with some basic recording equipment making some rock'n'roll that is pure and simple.
		I saw Andrew WK at the Warped Tour 2003 (see our review) and I must tell you, this band loves to do what they do and it shows.

	* Dusted Features [ The Golden Rule: An interview with Andrew WK ] *
		Surprisingly enough, Andrew WK is not a manufactured commodity, nor is he a lucky hack.

		Andrew WK gladly took another chunk out of his busy schedule this past October to speak with Dusted's Sam Hunt prior to his show at Chicago's Vic Theater.

	Andrew WK: I Get Wet - PopMatters Music Review
		So it should hardly be a surprise that with the November 2001, UK release of Andrew WK's debut album, I Get Wet, a hard rock album that tries desperately to be the be-all-end-all of all party records, the UK press fell over themselves praising the album.
		The Detroit native's bio offers much promise, with WK (his real last name is Wilkes-Krier) quoted as saying, "This record is about cutting in to the heart of existence.
		As deep as he thinks his music is, listening for meaning in Andrew WK's music is akin to trying to achieve enlightenment via the beer bong.

		WK demanded respect, whether he deserved it or not.
		And the demon is a tricky sonofabitch, spinning you in circles of confusion and chanting its life-affirming message to brainwash you into truly believing, right to the core of your soul, that what it speaks is the Good Truth.
		Read any interview with WK (they're all the same-- just like the songs!) in which he spews naïve positivity like dad's warbly old self-help cassettes.

		During interviews, the 22-year-old WK has explained that, to him, the word "party" means going after everything you want without making excuses.
		Admittedly, taken out of context, WK proffers some pretty cheeseball commands -- especially in a society where cynicism is one of our five senses -- but his hard-driving, aggressive delivery turns self-help mottoes into anthem-ready power tools.
		This is the kind of rock that was born with a stadium in mind, existing in a constant excited state of pumping fists and banging heads.

		If introspective maniac Andrew WK is the new face of metal, somebody needs to call an ambulance.
		Though he would probably hate it, the simple fact is the photo of WK's face covered in blood has made at least as strong an impression as any of his "party-hard" anthems off I Get Wet.
		WK (Wilkes-Krier) did, after all, spend a couple of minutes explaining how we now live in a world in which the tyranny of having to pick favourite moments is over, huzzah!, so don't bother asking.

	Interview with Andrew W.K. (NY Rock)
		Andrew WK's debut album, I Get Wet, is rock like it's meant to be – shamelessly loud and proud, yet melodic.
		Clad in his now off-white white tee-shirt and jeans, Andrew goes straight from the stage to mingle with the Parisian audience after his energizing performance, which, for Andrew, is the rock 'n' roll equivalent of a high-impact workout.
		I witness his social skills as he mingles and signs lengthy dedications and autographs for, oh, half the people in the venue, who seem to be more interested in him than fellow opening act Hoobastank and headliners Less Than Jake.

		Andrew W.K. has a mission--to dirty up rock & roll, literally and figuratively.
		But W.K.'s more-is-more approach holds true of the music too--it's cheesy new wave meets spiky metal but delivered with such self-conscious force that it's almost bubblegum.
		Andrew's big debut is a combination of Meat Loaf, GWAR, early Motley Crue, and perhaps the Chemical People all in one disc...

	PunkROCKS.net Show Review - Andrew WK, The Used, Vendetta Red
		September 13, 2002 - 930 Club - Washington, DC Andrew WK might have been a smash hit with their drunken party anthem "Party Hard," but their recent absence from the top 40 charts might have some sliding them into the register of the one hit wonders, between A-Ha and Aqua.
		Whether it be WK's warm and inviting stage presence, as he high-fived and hugged nearly every person that jumped on stage, or his beloved backup musicians, who looked as if they were not two years removed from homelessness; you just had to feel good that these guys had jobs.
		Beginning with WK's dancing, ranging from leprechaun dances to some sort of Nordic-Trac motion with quite literally everything imagineable in between, the band and crowd got progressively more active with each song.

		Kirby's line about popular music reaching bottom with Andrew WK is pretty much what went through my mind when I saw the video for "Party Hard." With Puddle of Mud, it was sort of a slow, predictable descent, like someone was slowly draining the blood from popular music's body.
		But with Andrew WK, it's like someone held it down, quickly stomped on its genitals, shat in its mouth, then used a giant paper puncher to remove its innards.
		And to compare WK to the Ramones IS blasphemy.
