About Hot Lixx
Posted by admin on August 16, 2008Craig “Hot Lixx Hulahan” Billmeier has recently been crowned the 2008 World Air Guitar Champion after a fierce battle in Oulu, Finland in August 2008. His previous accomplishments include 2006 and 2008 US National Air Guitar Champion. In 2006, Spin Magazine had this to say:
After an intense compulsory round, Craig “Hot Lixx Hulahan” Billmeier blew away the competition in NYC with the help of Metallica and a sombrero.
San Francisco’s Craig “Hot Lixx Hulahan” Billmeier took home the title at the fourth U.S. Air Guitar national finals, held in a sold-out Bowery Ballroom in NYC. Hot Lixx beat out fierce competition — including last year’s reigning champion Fatima “Rockness Monster” Huang — with his blustery energy, south-of-the-border style, and technical picking during Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” His performance was so masterful that the judges overlooked the impressive butt-crushing skills of NYC competitor Andrew “William Ocean” Litz, who is known for his ability to flatten cans of Sparks malt liquor with his tush during performances.
Hot Lixx will head to Finland in September where he’ll represent the United States in the world championships. We hope he’ll fare better than our national soccer team did in the World Cup.

In fact, he’s currently in a Guns N Roses tribute band called the Rocket Queens, and a sappy punk rock band called Love Songs, a poppy punk rock band called This Is My Fist and a motherfucking punk rock band called Conquest For Death.
Some other musical endeavors he’s found himself in over the years:

Now would be a good time to mention that Hot Lixx had nothing to do with the creation or maintenence of this here website. In fact, he barely knows it exists, and he’d probably frown at its content, design and concept. You can send an email to hotlixxhulahan@gmail.com, and we’ll make sure he gets it.
