Are you a Guitar Hero champion? Find out tonight at Stubb's as 101X and C3 present the first of a three night competition, followed by a performance by Austin's Alice Rose.

Here's what you need to know: rounds one and two are strictly for qualifying. Show off your skills this evening and make the cut, then you'll be placed into a bracketing system. The opportunity to qualify is based on a first come, first serve basis, so it's important to arrive on time! Registration begins at 5:00 p.m., round one begins promptly at 6:00 p.m.

Check out the 101X Web site for details, and be sure to practice on the difficulty level you intend to compete at. After working up a sweat pretending to play "Barracuda," stick around for The Alice Rose, providing catchy power pop and bittersweet vocal strains reminiscent of Squeeze, Crowded House and even a little Alex Chilton thrown in for good measure.
