MONDAY

MUSIC

Andrew W.K. Past Event Like List
The California musician and performer calls himself a "hardcore partier," a description that he more than lives up to. He's best known for his 2001 hit "Party Hard," which has become an anthem to live by. Embodying a lifestyle of partying hard not just in his music but also in his personality,  this maniac once did a 43 minute air drumming workout video. That should give you a taste of what to expect from his live show.
