GRAND RAPIDS, MI - The Pyramid Scheme will celebrate its fourth anniversary by partying hard.

Andrew WK, former Ann Arbor resident, writer, motivational speaker, wearer of grubby T-shirts, self-appointed king of partying and musician will perform at the venue at 8:30 p.m. April 24, 2015. Tickets are $30, on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 13 via Ticketweb, the Pyramid Scheme box office and Vertigo Music.

The concert is being billed as a special solo performance.

A California native raised in Ann Arbor, WK broke through to the mainstream with his 2001 debut album "I Get Wet," which spawned a few shouty hit singles, including "She is Beautiful" and the still-unavoidable anthem "Party Hard."

After his commercial peak, he continued to release music, but also carved out a diverse career as a music producer, nightclub and record label owner and advice columnist for the Village Voice.

The concert is the first of two nights planned to celebrate The Pyramid Scheme's anniversary. An act for April 25 is yet to be announced.
