Thanks to the benevolent folks at the University of Kansas and the Student Union Activities board, I will be seeing Andrew W.K. for free tonight.
How fucking cool is that? I mean, I’ve seen the man with Flogging Molly, on the Warped Tour, and by his lonesome, and every time it’s been fun. Sure, it’s kinda chilly outside, but the wife and I are going to take the kids and introduce them to the mayhem. That is, if they can manage to stay awake that long. The show starts at 5:30, and is supposed to be over by 9.
Seriously, an AWK live show is something that everyone should check out at least once. It’s like a party with several hundred of Andrew’s closest friends. Twice, I’ve seen the stage so covered with people, I couldn’t quite be sure if there was still a band on there or not. It’s pure music energy, folks, and it may just revitalize your faith in rock ‘n’ roll.
