Andrew W.K. is a puzzle wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in mystery, swathed in a bloody white t-shirt. After recording the soundtracks to countless parties with the massively successful party rock albums 2001's I Get Wet and 2003's The Wolf, Andrew W.K. was suddenly plagued with bizarre conspiracy theory accusations. Difficult to trace sources accused the musician variously of being a front for a massive media corporation, of having stolen another's identity, and even of not actually existing!

The rock wild man didn't seem to help clear the air with his resulting actions which included releasing albums in Japan only, becoming a motivational speaker, and even claiming that the Andrew W.K. of 2010 was physically a different person than the Andrew W.K. of 2001! Recently, Andrew W.K. has reinforced his concept of the "Party" as a method for living life to its fullest, hosted the successful TV program Destroy Build Destroy, and is working on a new album for 2012. To get to the bottom of these quagmires, staff writer John Gentile put on a black t-shirt, jeans, and shoes and partied with Andrew where they covered the concept of "the party," his new album, working with the legendary Lee "Scratch" Perry, and whether he actually is the same physical entity that told us to "Party Hard" in 2001.
