It would be a lot easier to just put down "his existence," but for the sake of fairness and clarity, we'll divvy it up a bit.
Awesome Moments:
- Andrew broke his foot while on tour promoting The Wolf, but rather than cancel any appearances, he just finished out the tour while rocking out in a wheelchair. Even his TV appearances!
- June, 2013: For the O Music Awards, Andrew played the drums for 24 hours straight. Yes. You read that correctly.
- Remarkably keeping his cool on Hot Pepper Gaming after eating a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, one of the hottest peppers on the planet.Andrew: My whole body's numb.
- Andrew once played "Party Hard" with big-ass Tesla Coils, that were zapping David Blaine's body. That's so party.
- Canadian journalist Nardwuar the Human Serviette is famous (or infamous, depending on who you talk to) for his exhaustive research of his interviewees, and hyperactive interviewing style. A lot of his subjects (notably Henry Rollins) have found themselves completely unable to deal with his level of energy. And then Nardwuar meets Andrew WK, possibly the only person he ever interviewed whose energy surpassed his own. And Andrew ends it with a keyboard solo.
Awesome Music:
- I Get Wet, described by allmusic.com as "a great big bear hug of an album," is easily Andrew WK's definitive album. And one he has yet to outdo, although You're Not Alone comes close.
