The show’s first season is being sponsored by US food outlet Taco Bell through their Feedthebeat.com programme. Talking about the series, Fox Digital Entertainment senior VP Matt Glotzer said: “The branded entertainment space has evolved over the last few years by doing what is typically labeled as ‘organic’ integration all the way up to a sponsor wrapping themselves around a program that never mentions their product.

“Where we wind up are in places where the creators are willing to weave [products] into the story. [The debut episode] almost has a level of kitsch. The mindset of Taco Bell is as a certain prop element; there are not tacos in every episode.”

Andrew WK is currently working on a new album, which will be the follow-up to his 2009 instrumental solo piano album ’55 Cadillac’, and is also set to tour the UK this April. The singer, who will perform ‘I Get Wet’ in its entirety, will play:

London HMV Forum (April 12)
Manchester Academy 1 (13)
Glasgow Garage (14)
