Whatever you make of the deeply stoopid I Get Wet, it’s hard not to admire the jack-of-all-trades stylings of hard partier Andrew WK  

The frat rock equivalent to C.B. Fry has formed a musical collaboration with Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, released an album of solo piano improvisations, given advice to ailing teens on MTV and made hay (quite literally) as a motivational speaker. Next up on WK’s outlandish bucket list?

 Pitchfork report that WK will have a small side role in David Blaine’s latest absurd stunt/plea for attention. From Friday onwards, the magician will spend three days and three nights standing up surrounded by an electrical storm. Tesla coils will stream a million volts worth of electrical currents around Blaine, who will be wearing a protective chain mail bodysuit and a wire helmet.

According to his website, the Andrew WK will stop by on Sunday to “perform a unique keyboard solo using a coil powered instrument in which David Blaine will be imprisoned as 1,000,000 volts of party music surge through his body”. WK calls the keyboard “probably the most dangerous musical instrument ever created!”, and claims to be “absolutely electrified and terrified by the opportunity to play a keyboard solo with so much energy, and to use this incredibly powerful device to send a musical surge through David’s brain!”. Quite.

‘Electrified: One Million Volts Always On’ is being live streamed here; tune in at 7.30pm New York time on Sunday to see WK do his thing .
