By definition, Andrew WK is a rock star, participating on big tours with such acts as Aerosmith, his popularity has risen tremendously over the past year or so. So when it was announced that he would play with the Sahara Hotnights, Ikara Colt and Washdown at The Social in Orlando, my curiousity got the best of me and i bought a ticket a few weeks in advance, as the show would eventually sell out about 2 weeks before the date.

Yeah I have to agree with this one. I saw him in a smaller club and it was really fun. All these hardcore kids dancing around to pop rock music. He dedicated She is Beautiful to my friends and I cause we were wearing A, W, and K on our shirts. So gay, but so fun. "welcome to hardcore..." oh, the show was in orlando. FLORIDA. all that head running makes sense now. hmmmm. anyone runs on me (sweet jesus) the get tossed. head first. then kicked. man, shows are lame. at least i have an excuse to throw "hardcore" kids on the ground now. sigh. i must say, for all you kids that kept saying ikara colt was rocking, why weren't you rocking out? the crowd was fucking dead for them and people were just shit-talking and heckling those whacky cats. then again, the singer's whole "i'm better than the crowd" attitude didnt help. this show was fun, and get used to head-walking at a show with hardcore kids, try it sometime, its fun. "haha..... welcome to hardcore... " "i never seen people running on top of people before this show. i've seen shit at shows that looks like karate before... but people were RUNNING ..ON PEOPLE!! they were running across people's shoulders and heads! holy shit" Never trust someone who doesn't like Andrew WK. most of the Sahara Hotnights stuff sucks. they do a good cover of Rockaway Beach. and i went to their site.. they are kinda hot. I love AWK, but seriously, I cannot distinguish one song from another, they all have that high picked guitar part in the beginning. It's funny. Andrew WK is the feel good artist of the year - yeah, his songs are basically the audio equivalent of a light bulb (you've heard one and you've heard them all), but they're fun. And altough I can't say that I've met him personally, he seems to be a great guy, and have a great outlook on life, to simply enjoy it as much as you can. Unless, having FUN constitutes selling out.. - Lil Guy i'd give both my thumbs and my firstborn child to see andies. well, maybe not my thumbs. yea! those retarded kids would jump into the fucking crowd like it was grass and try to run across them until they fell through! my shoulder got hurt so bad and im not a small guy. im 5'10". sexy. long blonde hair. 6". anyways tho,ikara colt rocked. OK id write more but i just got the new Impossibles DVD dropped in my freaking lap! GOOD BYE! "This is my new friend Murphy!!!"- AWK, that sucks he didnt give you the interview. Good to see others reviewing the show, woo hoo! Yeah, it does hurt. My neck & back are still killing me. I was at that show, they were talking to me on the mic & stuff during the set (I'm the infamous Murphy, if the author is reading) and then AWK denied me a promised interview. fucker. you can read my full review at www.411mania.com/music All I will say is this: Seeing Andrew WK in a small club is one of the most wildest, most fun experiances you could ever have. He is one intese motherfucker and puts on a show like very few can. andrew WK music is now being played on kit kat commercials. god i want one. people running on people's shoulders? that's gotta hurt really bad, especially with some of the shoes people must have been wearing with spikes sticking out the sides and shit or whatever those silly punk rockers wear. "The bassist looked pissed she missed the cut for the Donnas, the 2nd guitarist got beat out by 20 years by Joan Jett on the "Looking exactly like Joan Jett" thing, the singer looked like a fat version of Sara from T(i)NC and the drummer kept putting her fist in the air like there was some sort of revoloution going on. There was nothing revoloutionary about the Sahara Hotnights, they sucked, plain and simple." i never seen people running on top of people before this show. i've seen shit at shows that looks like karate before... but people were RUNNING ..ON PEOPLE!! they were running across people's shoulders and heads! holy shit |
