New youtube videos

The band has recently posted two new videos to their youtube page. (To view the high quality versions go to www.youtube.com/powderburn instead of viewing the videos below)

The first video is a short one entitled "Wheelchair crowd surf" which is quite possibly one of the coolest things witnessed at Powderburn show, or any show for that matter.



The second video is entitled "Powderburn, Jager, Fireworks, Girls = Mayhem" and features random footage that the band caught on tape over the last couple months. (It also features some music from the upcoming cd!)

POWDERBURN SET FOR JAGERMEISTER MAYHEM FESTIVAL

Austin, TX (July 11, 2008) –
Austin-based hard rock/metal artist Powderburn
will be joining the Jagermeister Mayhem Festival lineup for the San Antonio show coming up later this month. Headlining this much anticipated festival include multi-platinum rock/metal acts Slipknot and Disturbed. Additionally, the main stage features Dragonforce, and
Mastodon. The festival hits San Antonio on July 26th at Verizon Wirless Amphitheater.


This first annual festival will also have the Jagermeister Second Stage with Machine Head, Airborne, Five Finger Death Punch and Walls of Jericho. Housed in a 44-foot trailer that opens into a fully self-contained stage measuring 34 feet wide, 16 feet deep and 20 feet high, the
Jagermeister Mobile Stage showcases the latest audio innovations from Peavey Electronics. This will also bePowderburn's debut show on the Jagermeister stage.


"Leave it to the geniuses at Jagermeister to put together a lineup like this. This is probably the strongest collection of amazing metal and hard rock bands I've ever seen", adds drummer Patrick Swift. "It's a total honor to be part of this event and I'll be front and center when
Slipknot and Disturbed hit the stage, not to mention Dragonforce!"

The MONSTER ROCK Sing-Along
(Article from: www.originalalamo.com)

Rated Unknown
Location: Alamo Downtown

This show is a part of the Sing-Along Extravaganzas Signature Series, Click to See More

We've celebrated hair metal before, in our annual LOVE BITES Power Ballad Sing-
Alongs, but sometimes you want to do more than slow dance. Sometimes, you want
to ROCK. And this summer, that's exactly what we're fucking gonna do. We're not
gonna take it anymore, because god gave rock and roll to us and now we're going
to shake you all night long. So yeah, we've got the big hair and bigger make up
of Twisted Sister and KISS. We've got the spandex of Van Halen and Poison. And
we'll bring back more favorites from the Love Bites show, too, because "November
Rain" isn't the only song by Guns 'N Roses. Oh, and AC/DC. Lots and lots of
AC/DC. Plus, even though we've already used this gimmick for the BILL & TED
QUOTE-ALONG, we'll be giving everyone their very own inflatable guitar when they
sit down, just so we can all have something to smash against the stage when
we're too overcome by the power of our own mystical rocking.



BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. This Thursday, June 19, the rocking will continue with a
free show at the Beast House, just two blocks down 6th Street from the Ritz,
with the official Monster Rock After Party, featuring DJ Jefe spinning rock and
metal, and live rock with Thunderose and Powderburn.

Kid Policy: 18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only
with a parent or guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.

POWDERBURN TO PLAY MULTIPLE SHOWS ON JAGERMEISTER TOUR

(May 27th, 2008 - Austin, TX) The month of May typically means one thing to Austin, Texas-based metal band POWDERBURN - the time has come once again for the spring edition of the JAGERMEISTER MUSIC TOUR. The band is fortunate to have a sponsorship from the hallowed beverage of choice for metalheads everywhere, and JAGER is bringing the metal to Texas yet again.

POWDERBURN is pleased to announce that the band has two dates on this year's JAGERMEISTER MUSIC TOUR - May 28th and 29th with HATEBREED and 3 INCHES OF BLOOD. The 28th show will also feature fellow east coast natives, TYPE O NEGATIVE.

"Needless to say, this may be one of my favorite Jager tours yet!", says drummer Patrick Swift, "HATEBREED are legends of the scene and I've been a fan of TYPE O NEGATIVE since I first picked up drumsticks . . . this one's gonna be trouble!"

"It's always fun to play on a tour that features diverse bands. I've seen Hatebreed and Type O countless times and they both put on great, yet, vastly different shows. I think Powderburn will fit quite nicely, in our own way, among these bands" added singer/guitarist Ken Lockman.

May 28th, the band joins the JAGERMEISTER MUSIC TOUR in San Antonio at Sunset Station, and then makes the journey to El Paso for the show on the 29th at Club 101. POWDERBURN leaves the tour at that point, but will be swinging through Lubbock to play a headlining show on the way home, to be held at the Lone Star Events Center on May 30th.

POWDERBURN TO HEADLINE MULTIPLE SHOWS AT TEXAS ROCKFEST

(March 11th, 2008 - Austin, TX)

The month of March brings a great deal of attention to the city of Austin, due to a legendary music festival called South by Southwest (SXSW). However also during this week another festival has been taking place for years as well. The Heart of Texas Rock Fest has been home to Austin-based metal band POWDERBURN for five years running, and this year is no exception!

As has become tradition, POWDERBURN will be headlining the Dimebag Darrell Memorial Metal night at Spill Bar on Wednesday the 12th at 1am. "This night is always a showcase for some of the finest the metal scene of Austin has to offer", says drummer Patrick Swift, "and we're proud to be associated with a night dedicated to the legend of our scene - so come on down and getcha pull!"

The band will be taking in the sights and sounds of the festival during the rest of the week, and return to the stage to headline not one more show, but both Friday and Saturday night. In addition Powderburn will also be playing the outdoor "Guitar Hero" stage on Thursday at 3:30pm. Friday's show marks POWDERBURN's return to their new home venue, the Rock City Icehouse in the Lincoln Village, and Saturday night brings the band to Merkaba, in Pflugerville, to close out another great night of music.

Singer/guitarist Ken Lockman said: "We love Texas Rockfest because every year they invite tons of unsigned rock and metal bands from all over the country and fans can see them all for free! No wristband, no cover charge.....just free."
