Singer, rocker, partyman, and spokesman for Playtex (seriously), Andrew W.K., is obviously a Renaissance man (do you know how hard it is to shill wipes?), but he's about to embark on one of his biggest ventures: a solo tour, The Human Party Machine Solo Tour, to be exact. The artist's first ever solo tour, Andrew W.K. will make his way around the country with just a microphone, a keyboard, and throngs of screaming, head-banging…
