Underrated: Andrew WK
May 15th 2008 00:44
Andrew WK is a man who definitely wants to bring the party atmosphere back to concerts. You may remember first seeing him, as I do, from a music video of him running mad around a house, blood dripping everywhere...good times.
We have not heard too much from him over the past year or so, but he is definitely still out there and absolutely worth listening to. Your parents may not approve and if they see any of his videos they may send you to your room...even if you are 25...but as a rather selective fan, let me tell you, this is a real musician.
Andrew WK released his first album, I Get Wet, in 2002, which ended up causing quite a bit of controversy with censors as a result of the cover showing WK with a badly bloodied nose, blood dripping down his face and neck. The album was still released, but with a black sticker put on the CD shrink wraps to cover the bloody area...we can have nudity and drug innuendos but a little blood is of serious concern? Hmm...
In any case, the first album ended up rising to the #1 position on Billboard's "Heatseekers" list, and has been a favorite in my collection since it was availbale on shelves.
