In hard partying news, Andrew W.K. has been tapped by the last remaining Ramone to provide lead vocals in Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg - a Ramones cover band - on their upcoming world tour.

According to a statement from the drummer, he was initially drawn to W.K. as a lead singer thanks to Andrew's "party philosophy, which has also always been my exact take on life."
