AUSTIN AIR GUITAR PRELIMINARY ROUNDS ARE HELD ON THE LAST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH AT THE ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA AT THE RITZ FROM JANUARY - APRIL.

The top three winners of each of the Austin Air Guitar preliminary rounds will be eligible to compete in the Austin Air Guitar finals (date TBA). The winner of the Austin finals will be flown to New York for the U.S. Finals. The winner of the U.S. Finals will be flown to Finland in June to represent America in the 2006 World Finals.

An amazing spectacle for both performers and spectators alike, Air Guitar has reigned supreme at the Alamo Drafthouse since 2005. We are looking for the next air guitar savant who will represent Austin on the world stage and finaly make our town the "Air Music Capitol of the World."

The 2008 Austin Air Guitar Final Round will be posted as soon as details are announced.

It's free to compete, plus as an added bonus, each competitor will get 4 free tickets to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. If you want to compete, bring a CD of your 60 second performance track to the Alamo Drafthouse on the night of the show or you can email it in advance to brad@originalalamo.com.

Each competitor has 60 seconds to perform air guitar to a song they either choose before the competition or bring with them. Contestants are judged on the 4.0-6.0 figure skating scale. Costumes are highly recommended as is a little practicing in the mirror, although we have had many amazing walk-up competitors over the years.

After the show, join us for the jackalope for the after-party featuring $1 "remember the Alamo" shot specials.
