Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted January 28, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2012 I've been a massive AWK fan since 2000 and I've seen him live 8 times, and chatted to him shitloads, he's always been the same dude, he loves doing misleading shit like pretending he's different people to build mystique. Â I saw him in 2011 and he was awful, the glory days are long gone but there is hope as thankfully he's back to touring with a full band this year, (he's played just him singing over a backing track for the last few years) can't wait to see him playing a proper full live show again.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 28, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2012 Fucking delighted to see some Andrew WK love on the Forum!! Â This has just reminded me that I needed to go and sort out tickets to his forthcoming mini-tour. So I just went and booked myself a couple for Manchester Academy in April. Â I have seen AWK just the once, and amazingly it was TEN YEARS AGO to this very week at Sheffield University. It was possibly the most fun I've ever had at a gig, I was right at the front sweating my bollocks off. I won't be getting up to those kind of antics this time round, but hopefully the nostalgia kick will make it all worth it. If you didn't know- he will be playing his debut album 'I Get Wet' in its entirety on the shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 28, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2012 Nice to see Leonard Cohen's newest tune on the list (even if it isn't doing shots with Hulk Hogan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted January 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2012 At alexander's birthday drinks the other night, about half an hour was spent discussing how great Andrew WK is. Lot of love going round for the guy at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted January 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2012 As I said, I know little about the guy, but the music seems to have that fun element that is missing from so much these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
