ANDREW W.K.  ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE FOR NEW ALBUM: MARCH 2, 2018 

Party God Andrew W.K. is thrilled to announce his first new full length album in over a decade. The LP showcases Andrew's signature style of blasting triumphant rock music, with an ever more epic expanses of energizing emotional ecstasy. "I'm going for the sound of pure, unadulterated power; every emotion, every thought, every experience, every sensation, every fear, every joy, every clarity, every confusion, every up, every down... all extruded and concentrated into one thick syrup of super life-force feeling, and then psychically amplified by the celebratory spirit of glorious partying," explans Andrew. The new release is out March 2, 2018 via Sony Music worldwide. Album title and cover art to follow.

Andrew W.K. officially began his first full-band concert outing in five years with "The Party Never Dies Tour". Starting in Minneapolis, Andrew brings his party-centric positivity across America, with additional shows added due to high demand in San Francisco and Boston as well as a new Chicago headlining show (following the success of their stage-closing Riot Fest performance recently).

A one-man music machine possessed by a single-minded, monomaniacal focus on euphoric joy, Andrew lives to spread a singular message: That to party is to exist, and to exist is to party. Andrew continues to passionately deliver his extremely high-energy brand of uplifting entertainment, with a unrelenting commitment to continuing the mission he first embarked upon in 2001, with the release of his debut single and signature tune "Party Hard", and has never swerved from since. Despite taking on a dizzying array of additional roles that took him into virgin territory for a rock 'n' roll musician (ie: advice columnist for the Village Voice and Vice, host of a Cartoon Network kid's game show, lecturer at Yale, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon and the UK's Oxford University), Andrew has always remained true to his positive-partying cause. It's safe to say, Andrew's hard partying spirit is showing no signs of softening.

Ryan Koenig Biography:

Skilled multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter, Ryan Koenig spends much of his time touring with a variety of internationally recognized musical acts. He is a proud native of Saint Louis, MO, but his career as a professional musician has brought him coast to coast in the continental United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. 

Ryan has recorded and performed on harmonica, guitar, guit-jo, banjo, dobro, fiddle, mandolin, washboard, bass, bones, and jug--just to name a few. His ability to change instruments at a moment's notice thrills audiences wherever he goes. In addition to his skill as an instrumentalist, Ryan sings in a highly distinctive tenor voice, and is a prolific songwriter. 

His adventures as a traveling musician began on guitar and vocals for spirited St. Louis rock 'n' roll trio, The Vultures. In 2006, he co-founded an original blues group, Rum Drum Ramblers, with long-time creative conspirators Mat Wilson and Joey Glynn. Ryan joined Americana and roots act Pokey LaFarge in 2008, a project which has taken him from divey bar rooms to festival stages to theater venues all over the globe.   

When not on the road, Ryan spends his time writing and performing hillbilly-inspired country tunes as Lonesome Cowboy Ryan. He also collaborates with partner Kellie Everett in an old timey radio cowboy duo, Southwest Watson Sweethearts. But this only scratches the surface! He appears in the studio and on stage in St. Louis with The Loot Rock Gang (blues/soul), Tortuga (gothic spaghett-western), Jack Grelle (honky tonk/country), and Sidney Street Shakers (hot trad jazz), just to name a few.     

Tortuga Biography:

Tortuga is a music project, featuring songs written by Mike Leahy (7 Shot Screamers) and backed by an amazing group of St.Louis musicians via the Big Muddy Records roster.

The Other Years Biography:

The Other Years are a duet born from a sister frienship, two friendly vines headed up the same vine. Theirvoices combine in many forms, embarking on a journey of songwriting influenced by the old time tradition.
