The "432 ... Part 2" EP is being released December 14th!
"This is an actual emergency."
- "Wires"
We weren't really sure if we were going to be able to pull this off but somehow, all the pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place that will allow Powderburn to release our second EP in 2013, titled 432 Part 2!
When we hit the studio last year to record what eventually became the 432 EP, we had to pick only a few songs in order to fit the time constraints we were under. This meant that we had to set aside some of the other songs we'd written and hopefully be able to release those sometime soon. Well, that time has thankfully come.
Powderburn will release 432 Part 2 on Saturday, December 14th, 2013 and it will contain 3 original songs along with 2 cover songs. The album will be available at www.powderburn.net/music and the track listing is as follows:
1. Wires
2. Prophecy
3. Silence
4. Dig Up Her Bones (The Misfits)
5. Got Me Under Pressure (ZZ Top)
Once again, as is pretty much the mantra with Powderburn, there is a very diverse range of styles and moods with this collection of songs. Ranging from the fast, aggressive, and angry sounds of "Wires" to the power rock feeling of "Silence", Powderburn once again proves that we operate without a template and play to our strengths as artists without a need to fit in to a particular style.
As if our own music wasn't enough, we decided to throw in a couple extra treats in the mix. "Dig Up Her Bones" by The Misfits has been in the Powderburn set at various times since the early 2000's. We also pay homage to fellow Texas rockers ZZ Top with our rendition of their classic song "Got Me Under Pressure".
As part of the release festivities, Powderburn will be playing the annual A Very Metal Christmas show also on December 14th @ Dirty Dog Bar in Austin, TX along with our good friends from Snake Skin Prison and Inch of Dark. Normally, you'd be hearing some of these new songs as part of the set, but due to Eric falling off a grocery store horsey carousel and breaking his collarbone, we're going to hold off on that until we're a little more rehearsed. BUT...and this is a big but...the venue WILL be playing the tracks over the PA right before Powderburn's set. So, come early and instead of just watching us setup and yell at each other because Princess Joel didn't get enough space onstage, you can listen to 432 Pt. 2 over the PA.
2013 has been an interesting year for Powderburn and we can't think of a better way to finish it off than with another EP release and a Christmas show with some of our good friends. Spread the word about Powderburn and their new release...and we will be seeing you in the pit!!

Fort Bliss...we're coming back with P.O.D. and Flyleaf!
Well...we told you so!
Powderburn is proud to announce our return to Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX on Saturday August 3rd, 2013 where we will be playing a free show for the troops!! We've been on a campaign to return ever since our last time there when we shared the stage with Drowning Pool. The stars, planets, and key hairs in Eric's beard have finally aligned to make it happen once more.
As if this weren't enough, we will be sharing the stage with platinum selling artists P.O.D., Flyleaf, (a fellow Central Texas band) and Stars In Stereo as they make a stop there on their tour. As always, it's an honor to perform for our troops, their families, and their friends and we look forward to seeing everyone again!
Powderburn will hit the stage at 5pm - Check out the flyer below for full details!

We miss our troops!
As Powderburn has been involved in the process of booking shows, and doing our best to fill up our calendar as much as possible, we sometimes sit and ask each other where we would like to play. Being in Austin, TX has a great advantage over other cities in Texas because we are right in the middle of Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio....so of course we love playing those places as often as possible because they are all within four hours of Austin. However, Powderburn has always had a very special connection to the military bases in El Paso, TX (Fort Bliss which 10 hours from Austin) and Killeen, TX (Fort Hood which is 1 hour from Austin).
A couple of years ago, Ft. Bliss was a very "out of the way" stop for us and we weren't quite sure what to expect. All we knew was that we had a very unique opportunity to play for real true American heroes and that was what made these opportunities very special. One of the most memorable shows was a free "Rock The Fort" show held directly on the Fort Hood grounds where Powderburn was direct support for our longtime friends Drowning Pool. We knew it was going to be a good show as Drowning Pool has a very strong relationship with the armed forces. Still, walking out onstage to 10,000 people was something that we couldn't even have predicted in our wildest dreams. It was very much a defining moment in Powderburn history that reminded us that we're part of something bigger in the music world and that we have and continue to leave our mark in the world of entertainment. But, one of the most moving and inspiring aspects of playing at Ft. Bliss is the chance and honor to be able to sit down and talk face to face with the troops about their experiences and their sacrifices for our country. It truly is a very eye opening experience when you take a few moments to listen to someone describe their life in the military.
With that, Powderburn is trying to return back to Fort Bliss as soon as possible and we thought it would be nice to share a little video with you to show how hard we are trying. We miss you Ft. Bliss and we'll be back very soon. We also would love to play in Fort Hood whenever the opportunity arises. Thank you for all your sacrifices and your dedication to making the United States the country it is today.
-with much respect and admiration,
Powderburn

Texas Rockfest....it's not quite over yet
As if Adam Brewer's Heart of Texas Rockfest, smack dab in the middle of SXSW, wasn't enough to bring you a hefty dose of rock and metal, he decided to keep the party going with his Rockfest Rewind shows on Saturday April 13th, 2013. There will be over 20 bands playing between the War Horse bar and it's new next door neighbor Project Infest (Formally Antones) and you can be part of the Rockfest party that keeps going long after SXSW is over for only $10. The $10 will get you in to both clubs (or you can choose to only get into one for $6) and there is a virtual who's who of Rockfest artists playing in both clubs. Powderburn will be playing Project Infest at 11:15pm sharp...and if that wasn't enough, we will be playing in block with other Austin bands Black Earth, Critical Assembly and Dirty Wormz. Let us go through that once more...

Thank you SXSW'ers!
SXSW has come and gone once again and through all the chaos involved in being anywhere near downtown Austin, we still pulled off a pretty good show at the annual Heart of Texas Rockfest. Rockfest is THE event to be at during SXSW if you don't want to spend a lot of money on wristbands or badges and you get some of the best talent gathered on multiple stages for 4 days. We can't thank Adam Brewer enough for continually making us a mainstay of his festival and for his unlimited support of Powderburn. We saw some great bands over the course of the festival including old favorites and new upcoming bands.
If you were able to make it out to the show, and have a facebook profile, we would love to see any pictures you took or hear about how good/bad/horrible we played...or what ever other experiences you had with our show or anyone else you saw during Rockfest. Here is the link to our facebook profile: https://www.facebook.com/PowderburnBand
Thanks to Katy R for these photos!

It's SXSW time!!!!! Free Powderburn show on Wednesday!
If it's spring break in Texas, then you know it's time for the annual SXSW film, interactive, and music festival. For those of you who don't know much about SXSW here's a quick rundown...
The first SXSW Festival was held way back in 1987 and the whole thought behind creating the festival was to bring more attention to the Austin music scene. Austin has long been billed as the "music capital of the world" so having a festival like this seemed only fitting and a proper way to display that badge to everyone. The powers that be in the Austin music scene wanted to create the perfect environment to bring people from all over the world to do business and to showcase talent. What started out with roughly 700 registrants back in those days has now grown to over 16,000 registrants. This doesn't even count the 32,000 registrants that also come here for the film and interactive portions of the festival as well. When you put it all together, what you get is quite possibly one of the best networking opportunities around to show off your talent.
As for Powderburn's role in all this...we will be playing slightly off the SXSW grid in the Heart of Texas Rockfest Festival. This event, which started back in 2000 in one tiny venue with 16 bands, has now grown to hundreds of bands playing in various venues in Austin. Powderburn has been one of the lucky few to be a Rockfest mainstay throughout the years and one of the best features of this festival is that because it's off the SXSW grid, it doesn't follow the wristband/badge rules that other SXSW venues have to follow. Does that mean you have to travel to some hidden part of town to find it?? NO! It's held right in the middle of downtown Austin (7th and Neches) among all the other SXSW venues.
Powderburn will be playing on Wednesday night, March 13th at 11:00pm sharp at the outdoor stages located at 7th and Neches. Once again, this is FREE and you do not need wristbands or badges or anything to come see this show. Also performing that night will be legendary Austin musician Jason McMaster with his band Broken Teeth as well as Austin's guitar virtuoso Yayo Sanchez with his band Cosmic Wolf.
Come on out and enjoy the kickoff of the SXSW Music Festival with Powderburn at a FREE show in the heart of downtown Austin. See you there!!!

SXSW
It's almost that special time of the year where thousands upon thousands of
people flock to Austin during spring break to pay homage to the music gods
and a few hundred dollars for a wristband to experience the phenomenon known
as South by Southwest. In true Powderburn fashion, we will be a part of
these festivities as well sort of. Powderburn has been a mainstay at the
The Heart of Texas Quadruple Bypass Music Festival a.k.a. The Heart of Texas
Rockfest for many years now. The very cool thing about this festival is
that it's off the SXSW grid while still being downtown where everything else
is going on. That's right; you do NOT need a wristband to attend this
show, you do not need to wait in line for the chance of getting in..none of
that bulls**t. We will be playing the open air stages at 7th and Neches on
Wednesday March 13th. We're still waiting on an official time so standby
for that in the next couple of weeks. Hope to see you there!

A big huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the Feb 9th show in Austin!!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was able to make it out to our show on Saturday despite having to deal with the Mardi Gras weekend chaos. This was a very special show for Powderburn because it was also a way for us to celebrate the release of the "432" EP that was funded by Powderburn fans from all over through a kickstarter campaign.
It was very exciting to see just how many of you made it out! We had fans that drove from all over Texas to be there (and keep in mind TX is 12+ hours long), along with radio DJs such as Chuck Loesh from 101x's No Control, as well as tons of local bands showing their support such as 7 Miles an Hour, Dead Strangers, Black Thorn Halo, and many more!
The show started at 9pm with Witch Diaries, who is an amazingly talented progressive metal instrumental band fronted by a quirky 80 year old man (or is he?) that plays guitar so well it makes you wonder your life choices. Up next was Downfall 2012 who puts on a really entertaining show, complete with a blueman group type of drum-off that occurs while the members seamlessly switch instruments. Be sure to catch them with us in Houston, TX on 2/16 at The 19th Hole!
We took the stage next and played for 80mins while debuting three new songs from the 432 EP that have never been played live before (Raise the Flag, Crash, The Substance of All Things Hoped For). After playing "Hoi Polloi" from our self titled cd we were called back on stage for an encore and former guitarist Josh Klayman graciously joined us on stage to play two old tracks; Revulsion and Now You Know...and the crowd went nuts!
However the show was not done yet, closing out the night while we had some drinks and chatted with our friends/fans was our good friends Nothing in Return who played some straight forward no bs hard rock / metal. The bass player, Donovan, is a long term friend of ours who has been everything from our bus driver to our tshirt supplier...definitely hit him up if you need any screen printing. He also works at Dirty Dog and we definitely want to thank Ben along with all the bartenders for their support of local metal! Be sure to look up all these bands during the week of SXSW as you are bound to catch a free show from all of them. (As always Powderburn will be playing on the always free, Texas Rockfest showcase...keep an eye on their website for the exact day time to be announced!)
If you have any pictures or videos of the show, please let us know by tagging us on our brand new facebook profile. We love seeing what our fans are able to capture at out shows and we like to feature them whenever possible on our website.
It was very exciting to see just how many of you made it out! We had fans that drove from all over Texas to be there (and keep in mind TX is 12+ hours long), along with radio DJs such as Chuck Loesh from 101x's No Control, as well as tons of local bands showing their support such as 7 Miles an Hour, Dead Strangers, Black Thorn Halo, and many more!
The show started at 9pm with Witch Diaries, who is an amazingly talented progressive metal instrumental band fronted by a quirky 80 year old man (or is he?) that plays guitar so well it makes you wonder your life choices. Up next was Downfall 2012 who puts on a really entertaining show, complete with a blueman group type of drum-off that occurs while the members seamlessly switch instruments. Be sure to catch them with us in Houston, TX on 2/16 at The 19th Hole!

New EP release date and track listing | Hometown show | Kickstarter update
First off we would like to say Happy New Year to all of you and we hope that 2013 brings you much positivity and growth! We have a few things to get everyone caught up to so let’s just get right to it as 2013 promises to be a fast paced year in the world of Powderburn.
New EP
We’ve finally finished up our new EP which is titled “Four Thirty Two” and it will be released on January 29th, 2013. The track listing is as follows:
1. Raise The Flag
2. Crash
3. The Substance Of All Things Hoped For
Not to be all cliché but good things really do come in small packages and even though this is just a 3-song EP, it clocks in at just under 15 minutes and in typical Powderburn fashion we touch on several different styles and musical textures. In addition to the hard work that we put into these songs, we would also like to thank the all-powerful Dale Singleton for his time and efforts in mixing the EP in a way that compliments the music very well.
Hometown show in Austin, TX
We’re starting off the new year with a hometown show at Dirty Dog on 6th street. This show will serve as a night to celebrate the release of “432” and we will be bringing quite the show to help kick this year off with a bang. We will also be appearing with Downfall 2012 and Nothing In Return as well as one other guest that is TBA at the moment.

Austin Chronicle Music Poll
Since 2002, Powderburn has been a consistent top 10 metal band in the polls and we want to keep that trend going again this year. Powderburn has also had a nice little run of taking the top spots in the past as well:

2004-05: Best Metal
2003-04: Best Metal/Industrial
2002-03: Best Metal/Industrial
2002-03: MP3 of the Year
So, how do you vote?
Head over to: http://www.austinchronicle.com/feedback/musicpoll/12/
Nominate Powderburn for the best metal band and fill out the rest of the ballot as you see fit. You do not have to have every category filled out in order to submit but if you have votes for other members of the Austin music community then please by all means cast your votes. All we ask is that you help us stay in the top 10 metal bands or maybe even hit that top spot again. Send this to your friends, family members, enemies, brosefs, pets, whoever you can think of and tell them to vote for POWDERBURN!!!
Thank you all for your continued support of Powderburn and we’ll be seeing you very soon at a stage close to you.
