German Champ Crowned: Another Female Heading to Oulu


The glass ceiling of air guitar seems to have been shattered this year.

In Germany, Katarina Tomaschek, aka Leni Krawitzkowsky, won the national championship and will head to Oulu.

Let's hear it for the ladies.

An excellent article . The German press nails that shit. Here's an excerpt: "The prejudice that air guitar performance is nothing more than a pathetic and somewhat cheesy desire for attention couldn't be further from the truth, say the air guitarists themselves."

Better than Air Guitar?

This chick rocks the Key-tar. Maybe we should start a sub-genre of air guitar competitions: Key-Tar.

She'd kick ass, obviously.

Is Someone More Airudite Than Bjorn Turoque?


This chick in England is trying to get a PhD in Air Guitar.


...and my parents were freaked out when I told them I was majoring in Film.

So, will she go on to teach? Set up An Institute for Advanced Air Studies? I suggest she contact Wesleyan University here in the US...

On Bill & Ted's DVD Extra with Bjorn and Rockness, JoBlo.com had this to say:

"Air Guitar Tutorial with Champs The Rockness Monster and Bjorn Turoque (13 minutes):

Air guitar Champs? I guess there really is something for everyone but this was kinda weird. Rockness Monster actually looks like he’s having some fun with this but the Turoque character is just bizarre although hilarious. The two guys discuss their own techniques and share their top ten tips to playing the air guitar."

Maybe he actually is getting too old for this...?
