$$$ / Music The Red Fang Air-Guitar Battle for World Domination
Posted by Ned Lannamann on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 4:05 PM
Flex those fingers and dust off those finest guitar-shred facial contortions, for tomorrow night is the Red Fang Air-Guitar Battle for World Domination, a battle royale of imaginary guitar skills. Red Fang and video director Whitey McConnaughy have put this evening together at Dante's, and they'll be shooting the whole event for the new Red Fang video. In other words, you can join the ranks of Brian Posehn and be part of music-video history.
There will be room for 50 contestants—all the details are here, including sign-up info—but everyone else is free to watch. And there are cash prizes, including $1,000 for first prize (whoa). Take a look at the full details here, plus you can peep the event flyer after the jump. There's more: Beer drinking contests! Ian Karmel hosts! And best of all: There will be live music by two bands. It's a secret, but if you can't guess at least one of them (Whitey coyly hints that their name rhymes with "wang"), you might have been doing a little too much headbanging.
Dante's, 1 SW 3rd, Tues Oct 25, 8 pm, FREE
