Andrew W.K attempting to break world record for longest drum solo
Eccentric rocker, Andrew W.K. will be attempting the world record of drumming for 24 consecutive hours at this year’s O Music Awards.
He will be joined by famed drummer of The Roots, Questlove, for the first leg of this feat of rhythmic endurance, followed by a host of special guests will drop by to show their support for the conquest.
O Music Awards have neatly named it the “Longest Drum Session in a Retail Store” as it will take place in an Oakley store in New York. This follows on from last year’s O Music Awards world record success at an attempt by the Flaming Lips for the most concerts to be performed in a 24-hour period.
This year’s O Music Awards will celebrate “Live Music Day” with a load of awards and live performances from the likes of Kate Nash, Grouplove, Lord Huron and Atlas Genius plus many more. You can stream the show starting 19 July at 7pm through to the Thursday.
