The Air Guitar Champs vs Q and not U

Well damn these bands if they can’t stay together longer than a few measly years. Haven’t they ever heard of the rolling stones, REM and U2? Who is going to be the big Indie band that is going to do their thing until they are these old farts. Ok so maybe Q and Not U feel they’ve left their mark and it is time to move onto other projects. I’m not so sure doing your new thing and then disappearing is such a great idea. Ok so perhaps superchunk and Fugazi are decent models and radiohead even though they are not really indie they have longevity in their art. E.G. is paying off in the wallet area. Solo projects in my opinion should remain as something you fall back on, especially if your group is starting to pick. Ok sure. If they were men they would say. Hey i have to get a real job that pays. I can respect that completely. The magic happens though when the combo is together. You write some songs with your buddies because you have “it” when your’re together. For a decent live band reminder we are going to have to go beyond kereoke and step into the world of Air Guitar Championships. That’s right Aireoke. The 2005 finalists have been announced! The showdown is happening July 14th at the Key Club in West Hollywood. Contestants will with wrestling tags like C-diddy, American Breeder and NY regional winner Bjorn Turoque will be judged on technical prowess, stage presence and “airness”. Now this is a show worth paying to see. Who would not want to see somebody air to “Eruption” by Eddie Van Halen. I know I was pretty good at it when I was a kid. ~Diver Down
