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 RELEASES A NEW SONG FOR FREE!

POWDERBURN RELEASES A NEW SONG FOR FREE

(January 7, 2008 - Austin, TX)

Riding on the heels of the announcement of a new lead guitarist, which opens a new chapter for Texas-based metal band POWDERBURN, comes another that symbolizes the end of an era.

Previous to his departure, former lead guitarist Josh Klayman participated in a writing and recording session with noted local producer Paul Soroski which concluded with four songs recorded at Walrus Studios. As POWDERBURN is on a short hiatus from shows to get Eric Smith ready for the road, the band has decided to release one of the previously-recorded tracks for free. The track is called "One by One".

Vocalist/Guitarist Ken Lockman stated "One by One has a slightly different vibe to it then some of our previous songs. It's still very much Powderburn but we added a little punk rock spice. One thing i can say for sure is that i that i won't be singing this song when i'm 60 years old...not without some serious oxygen tanks."

The song contains Josh's original guitar parts intact as a farewell to a friend, and as a bonus to the fans that have to wait a little longer for POWDERBURN to play in 2008.
