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 HEADLINE MULTIPLE SHOWS AT TEXAS ROCKFEST

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."

For more info on the festival, as well as the complete schedule featuring over 150 band, check out the official website at:

POWDERBURN ANNOUNCES NEW GUITARIST

POWDERBURN ANNOUNCES NEW GUITARIST
(January 2nd, 2008 Austin, Texas)

After several months of reviewing candidates and weighing options, Powderburn is pleased to announce that the search for a new lead guitarist has ended. The band wishes to welcome Eric Smith, a Houston native formerly of Swinging Teresa, Pinhed, and Epic, to the fold and hopes that all our fans and friends will join us in doing the same.

Eric brings a new style and energy to the band, and serious soloist chops as well, and is looking forward to display them at the soon-to-be announced Powderburn comeback show in Austin. When asked to comment, he simply said "Live fast, play loud, and fuckin' SLAYER!". Grammatically challenged as he may be, rest assured the man can seriously rock a guitar.

Powderburn will be taking an undisclosed period of time off from touring and recording to acclimate Eric to the band, and write a series of new songs for an upcoming full-length release. "The writing sessions have already begun", says drummer Patrick Swift, " and I cannot believe how ridiculously well the new songs are coming out. We're getting heavier and faster - we just needed some new blood to get things heavy again!"

Be sure to check back to www.powderburn.net often for the announcement of the band's comeback show, and for everything you ever wanted to know about Eric. A bio page and a link to his MySpace will be added to the site in due course. The band will also soon be releasing a new song in an internet-only form from the last recording sessions with Josh Klayman. As soon as the technical end is sorted out, Powderburn will be announcing the release of "One By One" on the website. Stay tuned. . . .

Powderburn to play in NYC on 9/27/07

2007_9_27 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!
