Kansas City’s air-guitar champion is … still, Mean Melin

My zipper (or lack thereof) in this photo is frightening. And — for the record — not intentional!

A different view of the first-round at NYC’s 2010 US Air Guitar Championship, courtesy the camera of West Coast air apparent Crusher (John Healy)!

It was a tight competition, with first round ties for fourth and fifth sending a total of eight performers into the second round, including Mean Melin.

Chicago, The Metro, 4.15.2010. My very first performance of “Hot for Teacher,” a song I would later abandon in favor of Slayer. This features a little “funny” bit with a bikini-clad transvestite teacher and my experiment with long-sleeved fringe, also abandoned.

This video may be more notable for my second round of Bon Jovi, where I got 5.9., 5.9, and 6.0!

I can now die a happy air guitarist. Coolest photo ever.

NYC bound, baby!

Mean Melin and the Dead Girls meet KISS!

I just wanted to say a quick than you to everyone out there who voted for my band The Dead Girls to open up for KISS last Thursday at the Sprint Center. The show was absolutely amazing and KISS and their crew were very cool and helpful all day. (I’m working on a blog about it right now, but am worried it may be overkill right now…)

Since I’ve been obsessed with the band ever since I was six years old (They are pretty much the reason I started playing drums in the first place), it was a pretty big deal to me. So again, thank you to all our friends and fans, 101 the Fox for selecting us as a finalist, and KISS themselves for being so hospitable.

Here’s a photo we took with the band in full make-up minutes before they took the stage. Click here to go to my Facebook page and see a chronological slide show of my amazing day opening for KISS.

My old band Ultimate Fakebook will be playing New Year’s Eve 2009/2010 in Kansas City at The Riot Room and I’m pretty damned excited.

This photo helped me win KISS tickets from 105.1 Jack FM in KC! As Paul Stanley would say, “Awwww yeeeaaaah!” Yes, that is a velvet KISS behind me—I’ve had it since I was 13.
