This is your last chance to advance to the Austin AIR GUITAR Finals on June 12 at the Parish!!!

It's time to dust off the virtual battle axe, because the Austin Air Guitar Championships are upon us for another year of the shreddingest, most insane spectacle of supreme Air mayhem in the world!

Started in Finland as an effort to increase overall world peace through the beauty of air guitar, the World Air Guitar Championship has now become an international phenomenon with contestants from over 50 countries competing for the world title as well as regional contests in over 20 cities in the U.S. Austin, dubbed by many as the "Live Music Capitol of the World," also seems poised to claim the title of "Air Music Capitol of the World." On select days through June, come to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, the official host venue of the Austin Air Guitar Regionals to either witness the insanity or to blast out your hottest air licks on stage. It's free to compete in and regular admission to watch what we feel comfortable saying is the most fulfilling 90 minutes of entertainment in the Southwest.

Details on the contest can be found at the Austin Air Guitar Facebook Group.

The top three winners of each of the Austin Air Guitar preliminary rounds will be eligible to compete in the Austin Air Guitar finals (June 12 - The Parish). 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 2009 World Finals!

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.
