Added Mr. Escamilla, "there's no doubt that the band will continue to move forward and I will continue to support them in any way possible. There's a lot of talent out there and I'll continue to seek motivated musicians to work with".

SAM ASH SPONSORSHIP
Austin, Texas - May 21, 2006 Austin metal artist, Powderburn, is pleased to announce that it has secured a full Sam Ash Music sponsorship. Sam Ash Music, the musical instrument megastore, is a company that has been servicing the music industry since 1924, and the band is honored to be associated with such an industry giant.
Greg, Ken and myself were always faithful Sam Ash Music customers when we lived on the East Coast, and we were all stoked to hear they opened one down here in Texas, says Powderburn drummer Patrick Swift, I hear they're planning to open one in Austin and I cant wait!
Sam Ash Music is the brainchild of Sam Ashkynase, a violinist from Austria who moved to America in 1907, and settled down in Brooklyn to raise a family. He and his wife Rose pawned her engagement ring to put a down payment on what is now one of the largest music chains in the world.
All the sponsors that we have are companies that we believe in and are proud to go out and promote, adds Powderburn guitarist Josh Klayman, Its great to have another one onboard!
Powderburn was chosen as one of only fifty regional bands to gain this sponsorship deal, through the Sam Ash Music in San Antonio, Texas. As the result of an expansion program that began in the 1950s, under the direction of Sam's sons Jerry and Paul, today there are 45 Sam Ash Musical Instrument Megastores nationwide located in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, Texas, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Fans can catch Powderburns next show on Saturday, June 3rd, at Smileys Ballroom in Harlingen, Texas.

This has never happened to me before. (by Ken)
Something has happened to me 3 times over the last few months that's never occurred before.
As most of you know, we're wrapping up production on our latest cd and so this means varying revisions of the cd have constantly been in everyone's car/boombox/computer, etc. Any person in any band will tell you that it's really hard to judge your own songs. I mean, you can tell what's total crap and what's not when you're writing, but it's a lot easier for me to listen to another band and know if a certain song really catches my ear or not. It's really hard to do that with your own songs and i imagine the same applies for any kind of art whether it be music, painting, or pottery for that matter.
However something really cool has happened throughout the past few months that's never happened to me before. 3 times so far i've turned on the radio and for a few seconds I didn't realize what was playing and I thought to myself "What is this song/band is this? It sounds really cool". Then quickly i realize that i'm listening to our new album. On one hand i felt like a jackass, but on the other hand i was pleasantly surprised because for a few moments i was able to hear the song from a fan's perspective, and i really liked it!
So, while my comment may come across as totally arrogant I really don't mean it that way, it's just simply awesome to hear a song of your own and think it's some other band....even if it's just for a few seconds. This happened 3 times, on 3 different songs and it's an awesome feeling. Each time i thought "Wow, this song is heavy, yet sounds different from other heavy bands these days."
I can't wait until we release this CD so everyone can hear it!
(we should be making an official announcement regarding the release date in the coming weeks)

Shows and Video Premiere Party!!!
This is Patrick, letting you know what's going on this upcoming week in Austin. As you might have heard, we have this little week-long event here called South By Southwest, and we're getting in on the action as usual! This is an important time for us and we need your help and support more than ever!
Wednesday, March 15th is when it all kicks off, at the Spill Bar on 6th Street. We're playing the Heart of Texas Quadruple Bypass Festival again this year, and while the show last year was fun, this one is set to blow the doors off every show before it! We're playing with a ton of great bands, and we're taking the stage at midnight. We need every fan, friend, and ex-girlfriend to show up to this show, it's a very important night for us. . . . and that's all I can say about it right now!
We're are giving you one whole day to recover from what we're gonna bring to Spill, and then we move the party over to The Firehouse Lounge on Friday, March 17th, right off of Sixth Street, where we are going to premiere our brand new video - a concept video we shot for the song "Perfect Line", off our upcoming CD/DVD combo "Echoed in Red"! We did this video with the immensely-talented
Mercenary Mediums, and they did a hell of a job! This will be a free party, from 7 PM to 9 PM, ages 21 and up, and we'll have Bud specials and all kinds of free Jagermeister stuff to give away! This is an event you don't want to miss! (If you were in the video and under the age 21, please shoot us an email)
And finally, we're closing the SXSW week out with a show on the outdoor stage on Saturday afternoon, at 12 noon - also a part of the Heart of Texas Festival! The Rockstar Energy Drink stage is at 6th and Trinity, and we'll clear your Friday hangover (and ours) with some good old-fashioned Texas metal! We'll be playing a bunch of songs off the new record and hitting the bars afterward, so come early,check out the show, and then tie an early one on with us!
So, again I have to say that we have the best fans in the whole fuckin' world, and we need all of you to come out and support
on this important week of shows, videos, and Jager-drinkin'! Come on out and show the world that Texas metal is some of the best
in the country!

Reach out and touch someone . . .
Hey all, this is Patrick, just dropping in to let you know about what's going on in Powderburn-Land. . . . .
We are in the final stages (mixing/mastering/swearing and screaming) of completing our newest record, which unless something goes terribly wrong, will be a CD/DVD combo. The CD will have six songs and will be titled Echoed in Red, and the DVD will have interviews with all four members, 3 music videos, and probably some behind-the-scenes stuff with us likely being drunk and stupid.
There will likely be a complete re-vamp of the website to correspond to the record, and I assume there will likely be new merchandise as well. Now you can all have the shirt you always wanted with our four pretty faces - or you can use it to clean up oil spills . . . whatever works for you. =)
We have some big shows coming up - we will offically release the news when the other parties involved do the same. Sit tight, kids, this is gonna be pretty badass. . . . . .
Also, if you live in the Valley, or Dallas, or Lubbock, or (insert name of city/town/village/podunk in Texas) and we haven't played your town in months or even a year, hang on - we're going to be throwing our show schedule into high gear when the record comes out, so we'll probably be drinking, fighting, and rocking in your town very soon. . . . so hide your Budweiser, Jagermeister, and probably your girlfriends too, Josh is kind of touchy-feely when he's had a few. Heh.
We will be playing in Austin during the South By Southwest week, at the Heart of Texas Quadruple Bypass Festival - all that info is on our page and on the website, and hell - you don't even need a seven-thousand dollar wristband to get in, so you have no fucking excuse. Come drink and kick some ass with us!
I've noticed a lot of new faces on our friends page over the past month or so - welcome to the party - grab a drink and hold on tight, 'cause '06 is fuckin' Powderburn's year, people!

I know Ken has been dropping little hints here and there as to what we've been up to for the last several months, and the progress from the studio has been absolutely incredible!
For the last several months, we've been writing and revamping and writing some more, and we finally narrowed it down to the few that were strong enough to bring to Walrus Studios right here in Austin. We've been closeted (literally in Ken's case, he's been doing his vocal tracks right next to a washer/dryer) with producer and all-around badass Paul Soroski (of Podunk fame), who's been dragging some of the best performances out of this band to date.
I don't want to give away too much, mostly because Ken will kick me in the nuts, but we've got four songs to the point of a rough mix, and we've already recorded one previously for the Edge Magazine compilation CD that just came out at the end of last year. If you don't have a copy yet, go to their MySpace page (it's in our top 8) and get your hands on one! Not only does it have "A Bloodstained Memory" by us, but there's songs from many of the great Austin/San Antonio metal bands like Closed Hand Promise, Course of Ruin, Brotherhood, Hatchetwork and more!
The four songs we have close to done are called "Echoed in Red", "Oceans", "Perfect Line", and "Here's to the Time". There's a little something for everyone, from pure heaviness to Southern-influenced hard rock to a ballad that will make you want to cut your wrists, and there may just be a new release somewhere in the near future, so keep your eyes on our MySpace page and our website (www.powderburn.net) to keep up with the breaking news . . . . .
Also just in - Ken will be doing a all-revealing pictorial for none other than Playgirl magazine! Yes, it's true. He'll be joining the ranks of Peter Steele from Type O Negative and that guy from Jackyl in baring all for his female fans! They initally contacted Greg, but it was decided that he looks too much like Peter Steele and that it would affect back-order sales, so they went with our dreadlocked leader, and the results are pretty much embarassing! Ken insists that it was cold in the room and that he'd just gotten out of the pool, but reports to the truth of that are unconfirmed. So check out your local newsstand next month for all the thick, uncut details!
That's a joke, kids.
