It's official - McNallica defended her New England air-guitar title on Wednesday night in Boston - including her second all-perfect round (with a 6 from each of the three judges) - and will head to the national competition in early August.

UPDATE: McNallica's Boston win is the first time in US air-guitar history that someone has won the same city three times in a row.

Portland champ and two-time New England champion air-guitarist McNallica will go for a three-peat on Wednesday at the Paradise in Boston, home to the northeast regional finals for the US Air Guitar national competition. Tickets are available online, and cost $20, unless you buy a four-pack, in which case they're $16.

Portland's own air-guitar superstar, McNallica, has successfully defended her New England title, winning the competition at the Middle East in Cambridge, Massachusetts, last night - including getting perfect 6s in the second round (she modestly reports...).

She'll be competing at the US national championships on August 8 in San Francisco.

Portland's rockingest air-guitarist, McNallica, will defend her New England title next week, in a bid to return to the US Air Guitar national championships, to be held August 8 in San Francisco.

The show is at the Middle East in Cambridge, Mass., on Thursday, June 5. Doors are at 8; air-guitaring begins at 9. Get your tickets ($15) now, via Ticketmaster - the show will sell out.
