In space everyone can hear you sing.

A century ago, intelligent space-faring life was nearly destroyed during the Sentience Wars. To bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace, unity and understanding, the Metagalactic Grand Prix was created. Part concert, part contest, all extravaganza, species far and wide gather to compete in feats of song, dance and/or whatever facsimile of these can be performed by various creatures who may or may not possess, in the traditional sense, feet, mouths, larynxes or faces.

This year, humankind has discovered that it must fight for its destiny not with diplomacy, gunships and stoic councils - but with glitter, lipstick and electric guitars.

A washed-up glam-rock trio from London, Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes, has been chosen to represent humanity on the greatest stage in the galaxy. The fate of Earth lies in their ability to rock.

there's a definite feel of Douglas Adams in there. alas, the storytelling, language and humor cannot quite reach Adams' skill.
the story focusses on the confusion of extreme cultural shock, more than on any actual events (which is not necessarily a bad thing).
Heath Miller gave a strangely bloodless performance, reading haltingly and stilted. i've heard much better from him.
all in all, nice idea with some food for thoughts, the implementation is a matter of taste, i guess
