Ken says: Thank you brave souls

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out the cd release party last night in Austin and braved the weather! Although many many people couldn't make it, we still had a blast with those of you that did.

For those of you that don't know there is "Ice Storm 2007" on it's way to Austin and the news stations warned people to stay home last night. Just our luck! haha. But seriously, thanks to those of you that made it out anyway and to those that didn't, no worries. We'd much rather you be safe than driving on some icy highways. I know how you Texas drivers are in wintry conditions! haha.

Our next Austin show is is 1/31 @ Redrum and is hosted by 101x and it will be all ages and only $1.01 to get in.

My guess is that we'll get a foot of snow that day! ;)

POWDERBURN LANDS COFFIN CASE ENDORSEMENT

Austin, TX (October 14, 2006) – Hard rock artist Powderburn is pleased to announce that they have signed an endorsement deal with Coffin Case.

Coffin Case is the brainchild of Jonny Coffin, and the company specializes in the creation of cases for guitars and basses, hardware, and various accessories that not only protect the musician's valuable gear, but allows them to do it with a dark, creative style. The company is based out of North Hollywood, California, and has the likes of Aerosmith, Avenged Sevenfold, Motley Crue, Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, Slayer, and Slipknot under their endorsement banner.

Powderburn is incredibly pleased to join such hallowed ranks in working with such an esteemed and high-quality company. "I'd first seen Coffin Cases when we played with Slayer and Killswitch Engage in San Antonio", states guitarist Josh Klayman, "I remember thinking how incredible and different they looked, and I knew they were the perfect cases not only for me, but for the whole band."

You can see Powderburn's new Coffin Cases starting next week when they hit the road to play some shows in KS and MO. In addition the band will be giving away a Coffin Case filled with all kinds of band merch at their hometown Halloween Costume Contest show taking place on October 27th at Troubadour in Austin, TX.

POWDERBURN PARTS WAYS WITH THEIR MANAGER

Austin, TX (September 27, 2006) – Hard rock artist Powderburn is announcing it's parting ways with the band's long-time manager, Manny Escamilla. Mr. Escamilla, a native of the Rio Grande Valley, has handled the band's management, booking and press, among other duties during his tenure with the band. The decision to part ways was both amicable and mutual.

"We'd like to stress that Manny has had a huge role in getting Powderburn where we are right now", says singer Ken Lockman. "However, we have started moving in a different direction, both musically and in a business sense, and we'd like to explore as many different options as possible to get where we want to go, and I believe Manny feels the same." 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".

The band continues being active with writing and touring and will be playing Hero's in Harker Heights , TX on Friday, September 29th, and Jake's in Houston , TX on Saturday September 30th. The band also has a regional tour into Kansas planned for October.
