Thanks to Bjorn Turoque and his standing search on google for all things “air guitar” which recently turned up this: 7inches, the definitive site for 7 inch records (yeah, other people still make them too), had this to say of HLH’s EP single
2007 Year End 7″ Wrap Up
By Jason(Jason)
Anyone with the balls to put out a completely silent seven inch and become US air guitar champion will forever be hailed as a genius. Best back sleeve essay ever.

So you know that new video game called ROCK BAND? If you haven’t then chances are you will soon. It is like Guitar Hero, but, like, times 10.
If you zero-in on the animated band in the background you might recognize the “classicly thin guitar-god physique” (SF Chronicle) of Hot Lixx Hulahan.
In his words:
Thanks to air guitar – and to a lesser extent my old band Your Mother – I was offered the enviable position of doing motion capture for a gotdamned video game! Seriously, air guitaring and a band that sang almost exclusively about farting and masturbating ultimately immortalized me in a video game…Whoda guessed?! After lots of phone calls and emails and posting ‘audition videos’ on YouTube at 3 in the morning I was enlisted to act out the following roles in the game: heavy metal guitar player, dramatic guitar player, and male drummer. I posted some pictures from the experience here. I had to change the names and captions to protect the nerdy.
In other news: after three months of auditions and brainstorming and trying to come to terms with selling out, Hot Lixx was denied a role in the new Little Caesars commercial campaign. They decided SF was too far away from LA and so went with a local actor instead. Conversely, Hot Lixx maintains he turned it down because they would have made him cut his hair.

This may illegitimize Hot Lixx as an air guitarist but his fake air band (to use a phrase coined by Rockness Monster) is touring Africa throughout October. Check out the Conquest For Death website for details.
Speaking of international air guitar, here is a clip of a demo Hot Lixx did in Mexico City. 1200 people showed up just for a demo!
