Dust off the cock rock and heavy metal, coax out your inner Poison, and take a road trip to unleash the hidden Bon Scott within. The Australian Air Guitar Championship qualifying rounds wrapped up last week and state winners are off to Darwin to vie for the chance to win a trip to the 2008 Air Guitar World Championships in Finland in August. The Australian National finals will be held at the Vic Hotel in Darwin on Friday May 30. So get your rock socks on and book a flight, so you can show your support to our true heroes of rock mime (whilst defrosting in the balmy Northern Territory).

If you always fancied yourself as the front man (or woman), 2008 sees the introduction of the inaugural Lip Sync World Championships (LSWC). We’ve all had our day in front of the mirror miming the Priscilla soundtrack into a hairbrush, so why not work the same magic in front of a live, admiring audience? Australia hosts the World Finals, and Milli Vanilli aside, Lip Sync is an art form. So, if your lips blend seamlessly with a Dolly yodel, this is your excuse for a trip to Dunsborough, where heats will be held throughout July. For information about both these events, go to www.airguitaraustralia.com.
