William Ocean is America's newest air guitar champion

· by

William OceanNo, not that William Ocean. The winner of the 2007 US Air Guitar Championships (held on August 16) is NYC regional champ Andrew "William Ocean" Litz, who narrowly edged out competitors Fatima "The Rockness Monster" Hoang, Craig "Hot Lixx Hulahan" Billmeier, Randy "Big Rig" Layman and Erin "McNallica" McNally and earned a perfect 6.0 from judge Malcolm Gladwell. Ocean will be moving on to represent the US in the Air Guitar World Championships next month. For those of you who try not to think about the fact that there is an actual worldwide competition for people who can only pretend to know how to play an instrument, the AGWCs have been held since 1996 as part of the Oulu Music Video Festival in Finland. Here's a video of last year's winner. A film about the world of air guitar entitled Air Guitar Nation is set to be released on DVD on August 28; to buy it check out docurama.com.
