For those who rocked, we salute you!
(An Aireoke digest from our co-hosts at Block Magazine)
The second episode of AIREOKE:Williamsburg was undeniably one of the most significant nights in the history of rock n’ roll, as air guitarists shrieked in one unified voice of rock, “We’re not gonna take it!”, signifying AIREOKE’s indisputable emergence as the next best thing to cheap, cold beer and phone sex.
The evening began like an orgasm. If looks could kill, looks would most certainly be New York’s most loveable air guitar army, High Maintenance. From their very first note, strummed hard and true, this night seemed destined for Airness!
Bjorn Turoque, our faithful host and the nation’s second best air guitarist displayed his unwavering devotion to air guitar and humanity by publicly praising Rockness Monster, the man who recently bested Bjorn to represent the United States in the World Air Guitar Championships this August. The funny thing is…Rockness Monster was there!!! Yes people, Number One and Number Two, the President and Vice President, Batman and Robin, Crouching Tiger and the Hidden Dragon, were under the same roof at the same time. Showdown? Showmanship!
Picture this, Bjorn and Rockness (both an easy 6’7”) shoulder to shoulder, back to back, face to face shredding so much air it was difficult to breathe. The moon was full, girls were crying and many guys figured out for the first time who they truly were.
After a much needed break the air settled, but continued. Face melting, gut busting performances by the likes of Airistotle, ViAIRgra, Roberta Bruce, Air Spray, Air to the Throne and others from the smutty air guitar herd, collectively fueled what will go down as one of the greatest AIREOKE JAMS of all time.
Led by Air Force One and his co-pilot, the crowd pleaded in pain for one song. Yes my darling friends, Free Bird! And when the song began it was as if Trash Bar ascended to some higher more sacred ground, where “this bird will never change.” Sweat glistened on naked bodies, beer (and cans) were sacrificed, shirts were set on fire and American flags swayed coolly like the masts aboard the Santa Maria. It was in a word, heaven.
For all those present, I thank you. You have live heads and live hearts and were a part of something larger than all of us. For all those not present, shame on you. But fear not, AIREOKE STRIKES BACK August 24.
The next AIREOKE is Wednesday, August 24
The Trash Bar
256 Grand Street (Driggs & Roebling)
Williamsburg, Brooklyn (Bedford L Stop)
OPEN BAR 9 to 10 p.m.
As more and more air guitarists flock to rock AIREOKE, it’s only going to get bigger and better. Thanks again to all of our air friends and now family.
Until August 24…
Keep rocking - for air guitar, for peace!
See you all soon.
