Andrew W.K. has announced plans to tour with chamber ensemble the Calder Quartet. The unlikely pairing will perform a mix of traditional standards and improvisations at a week's worth of shows kicking off September 29th. The project was born from a performance at the Wordless Music Series in New York City, where A.W.K. and Calder Quartet had original works commissioned by The Explorers Club and performed at the club's annual dinner. Metal Edge Magazine witnessed the show and commented "It was strange as hell and it pretty much ruled."

Andrew W.K.'s new full length 55 Cadillac arrives on September 8th. The album, self described as "spontaneous solo piano improvisations," is being released on CD via Andrew's own Skyscraper Music Maker label, with an LP coming out on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace! label.
