Following an epic tremolo picking opening, the man in white came out with wife Cherie Lily and launched into “It’s Time to Party.” The crowd went absolutely nuts and became a swirling mass of fist-banging, moshing and stage diving. His band three guitarists strong, W.K. himself would alternate between singing/flailing his arms and playing keyboard like a virtuoso. “Girl is Beautiful” and “Long Live the Party” exploded the energy into joyful glee.

Andrew WK reunited his entire band for a raging tour with powerhouse team Math the Band. As an homage to the 10th anniversary of his first album I Get Wet, he set out to strike the world again with a set full of party-starting rock and roll.
