The 2006 Australian National Air Guitar
Champion is… ‘Clay Bangers’!!
Clay
Connolly aka ‘Clay Bangers’ (pictured above), 2006 QLD State Champ, took
out the 5th Annual Australian Air Guitar Championships (AAGC)
National Grand Final on Friday night 26/5/06 at ‘Discovery’ night club,
Darwin, Northern Territory.
‘Bangers’ (to his mates!) went onto represent Australia at the 11th
(one louder then 10) Annual
Air Guitar World Championships (AGWC),
Finland, 08/9/2006 where he placed a very close second (34.8 points) to
newly crowned World Champ Ochi “Dainoji” Yosuke from Japan (35.4
points).
Now etched in Australian Air Guitar folk
law, ‘Banger’s’ win was hard fort due to very stiff competition from
fellow state & territory champions including: ‘Angry Penis' (Darwin –
NT), ‘Crimson Gore’ (NSW), ‘Lou Jovi’ (VIC), ‘Lukey Spookey’ (TAS),
‘Lozzy Losbourne’ (SA) & ‘Soph Dog’ (Alice Springs – NT).
‘Bangers’ played a hard rocking song ‘4
Words to Choke Upon’ by ‘Bullet for my Valentine’ in his free round and
the an 'AC/DC' classic, ‘Dirty Deed’s, in the mystery round.
‘Bangers’ (68.5pt's) dynamic
performance gave him the slightest of edges over second placegetter
‘Wild Man from the Wheat Belt’ (WA) (65.5pt's) & third placegetter ‘Max Power’ (ACT)
(60.0pt's).
