Party-rock genius Andrew WK tells Undercover about smelly clothes, blood, urine-retention, a new album and more!
We sat down during a loud soundcheck with the hyperactive non-stop party rocker, TV host, motivational speaker and all ‘round go-getter.
Since the man is such an inspiration to those about to party, I asked if it will be possible to bottle his blood, and he seriously considered it (after a brief Szechuan diversion).
He said, “Getting the blood of anybody you admire is a real treat and I’ll try not to let any of my fans down”.
Then we got onto the famously grubby stage whites that he’s made a trademark. They’re stinky.
“I’ve always told people who tell me that I smell that it’s not me that smells, it’s my clothes,” he explains. “That is a big difference. If I took of these clothes, you would smell me and it’s like the smell of a newborn baby; like an angel. But if you smell the clothes it’s the smell of death, bacteria, viruses, mildew, mould, all that stuff. That’s the big difference: I smell great, the clothes smell bad.”
He goes onto to discuss how a heavy-metal singing teacher set him up with his new wife Cherie Lily and how he proposed, whether he’ll bring back the ‘I Get Wet’ signature panties, dating and festival-going advice for teens, what he looks for in other people’s music and a new pop-metal album!
