POWDERBURN PARTS WAYS WITH GUITARIST

POWDERBURN PARTS WAYS WITH GUITARIST
(December 3rd, 2007)

It is with a heavy heart that Powderburn makes the following announcement - lead guitarist Josh Klayman is parting ways with the band. The following is a personal note from Josh to the fans that have supported the band that he helped create many years ago:

Hey everyone, I just wanna let you all know that the 5^th of December will be my final show with Powderburn at the Red Eyed Fly. It's been almost 9 years since I started this thing and its been awesome. However, I fit into this industry on the production side of things as well as the performance side and I'd like to give some other avenues a try that I don't have time to do while in Powderburn. I will still be playing live with most likely a couple bands so I'll keep everyone posted on where to catch me live in 2008! I really wanna thank everyone who ever came and saw us, bought me a beer, sang a song with me onstage, bought a cd or shirt, and basically everyone who helped us in any way.

See you on the 5^th!!!

Josh

The remaining members of Powderburn, Greg Enkler, Ken Lockman, and Patrick Swift stated the following. "Learning that Josh wanted to leave was a hard thing to understand but over the last few months we've spent numerous hours talking about this and while it's still extremely sad to see him go, we all believe it's for the best thing for everyone. One thing all 4 of us have always agreed on is that things happen for a reason and we believe this change is no exception. It goes without saying though that whoever replaces him with have some big shoes to fill, both musically and personally."

As Josh stated the final Powderburn show with him in the lead guitar role will be the 101X Homegrown show at the Red Eyed Fly in Austin, Texas, on December 5th. The band will play at 11:30 and it's $5 to get in. We strongly urge anyone who has followed this band for any length of time to come out and support Josh in his last moments with the band, and his first moments on his new path.

Powderburn will soon release more information on its lineup change at:

NOTE:

Due to the lineup change Powderburn will be unable to perform on 12/7 in Houston and 12/8 in Brownsville.
The band however will be playing on 12/12 in Austin in Round 5 of the Bodog Battle.

NEW VIDEO and SONG

POWDERBURN RELEASES NEW VIDEO

Powderburn releases concept video for Perfect Line


Perfect Line
WMP High | Youtube


(September 25, 2007) - It has been eight months since Texas metal band Powderburn released their benchmark CD/DVD Echoed In Red. The title track and Here and After have made their presence known on the band's website, along with social networking sites like MySpace, Fuzz, and Virb.

Now, the band has just released its first foray into the concept video. In conjunction with the innovative Austin production company Mercenary Mediums, the video for Perfect Line is now available on the band's website, in the download section, and a lower quality version on is available on YouTube.com. The song itself is now also available to hear on the band's myspace page.

"The video for this song is deliberately weird and obtuse", says drummer Patrick Swift, "We wanted a very open-ended idea because we always prefer someone to get their own ideas from what we create. It makes it belong to everyone that way, as opposed to just our own egos".

The video release precludes a much-anticipated trip to the Big Apple - New York City. The band is performing a showcase at Crash Mansion, a club in the infamous Greenwich Village. The show is all ages and the band performs at 10pm.

Powderburn to play in NYC on 9/27/07

It's official! The band based in Texas, yet composed mainly of members from NY/NJ, are finally returning home to play a show @ Crash Mansion on Thursday, September 27th.

As most of you know we've been playing in the south, mainly in TX, for many years now so needless to say we're excited to show NY what we've been crafting all this time....not to mention we're going to consume an illegal amount of pizza.

We fully expect all of our friends, fans, family, baby mommas, homeless people we've given money to, and acquaintances, to be in attendance or we reserve the right to no longer count you as friends, fans, family or homeless. :) We know that not all of you live near the city. But seriously, do whatever you need to do to get there. We've been working like crazy and this show is very important to us on many many levels....take my word for it. So call out sick, skip school, find babysitters (although the show is all ages :), car pool, run a lemonade stand to raise money, and enjoy a nice trip to the city with friends in the fall of 2007 to drink free liquor and witness a band that's 10x better live than on CD. Did I mention we're traveling 28 hours to get there?!

Here's all the details!


Show Time: Thursday September 27, 2007 - 8:00 PM
