Infamous New York part-rocker Andrew WK joined Nardwuar the Human Serviette and his band the The Evaporators on stage this past Friday in Vancouver at the Mint Records XMas Party. WK performed “Party Hard”, “She Is Beautiful” and “Ready To Die” with the band.

Nardwuar revealed to the crowd that Andrew WK was in town to record a split 7″ with the Evaporators that will feature covers of 90s Toronto garage duo the Leather Uppers and Vancouver punk veterans the Subhumans. With that Subhumans lead singer Wimpy Roy joined the band for a rendition of “Oh Canaduh.” The guests kept coming as ex-D.O.A. members Randy Rampage and Jon Card joined the crowded stage for a version of the Subhumans / D.O.A. tune “Fuck You.”
