Austin, Texas (April 16, 2007) - Metal/hard rock artist Powderburn is pleased to announce that they are joining the Spring Edition of the Jagermeister Music Tour, featuring platinum-selling artist Stone Sour. The shows are Tuesday, April 17, at the Palladium in Dallas, and Wednesday, April 18th, at Sunset Station in San Antonio.

Also sharing the stage will be metal artists Lacuna Coil and Shadow’s Fall, who will be trading slots throughout the length of the tour. Drummer Patrick Swift says, "Lacuna Coil is one of my favorite bands ever, and on the American end of things, it doesn't get much better than Stone Sour or Shadows Fall....especially for the type of music we play." Powderburn will be opening the show each of the two dates in Texas around 7pm so fans are encouraged to get there early.

Powderburn will continue its own run of dates across Texas to Rock City, Houston, and McAllen after their stint on the Jagermeister Music Tour. The band has been touring regionally in support of their latest release, "Echoed in Red", a six-track EP/DVD.

Austin, Texas (March 18th, 2007) - Hard rock artist POWDERBURN is pleased to announce that the band has won Best Metal Band in their native Austin's annual Music Awards event for the fourth time.

The Austin Music Awards are held every year on March 15th, to coincide with the start of the world-famous South By Southwest Festival, a four-day event that brings bands, industry people, filmmakers, and thousands of fans from all corners of the world into Austin to celebrate music, art, and films of every genre.

With so much focus on out-of-town bands during South By Southwest, the Austin Music Awards are Austin's way of putting the spotlight on native bands, and POWDERBURN was in the spotlight again, accepting the first award of the night for Best Metal Band. "The award is given out solely based on fan voting through the Austin Chronicle," says drummer Patrick Swift, "which makes it that much better to have won four times now. We love our fans, and they support us right back. It's just amazing."

POWDERBURN accepted their award and had to immediately leave the festivites to make it to their show at the Heart of Texas Quadrupule Bypass stage at Spill Bar.

Video of POWDERBURN accepting their award and briefly hanging out in the backstage area is available at YouTube.com, following this link.
