Kerrang! Brong!
I don’t know what’s scarier, that there’s a World Air Guitar Championship held yearly in Finland, or that this year’s winner is 32 years old and defended his crown from last year. Actually, I attended an air guitar contest once. It was held in the student union building at Penn State when I was a freshman. The thing I remember most about it was that the intermission entertainment was a real band, The Seen, a 60s-influenced group of local high school students. They were fantastic, and became my favorite local band of my whole time in school. I became friends with a couple of the band members. Probably the biggest exposure they got was a track on Bomp’s Battle of the Garages Volume 2 compilation. It’s not clear to me if they’re included on the CD reissue. Ah well. Shortly after I left State College (as in a week or so), they released their one and only LP. Their drummer mailed me a copy because I had been such a big supporter of the band. Good stuff. I’m going to have to pull that album out.
