Random story from the Road:

We don’t make bathroom stops, so we pee in bottles.  And there is only 1 rule, make sure there is a cap for that bottle!!  So I had to pee, I found a bottle and without looking for the cap I fill the bottle with my own brand of lemonade…..all the way to the top.  No cap, everyone is yelling at me, so now I have to hold the bottle that is full of my piss until traffic is clear and I can throw it out the window.

What would you be doing if you weren't in Powderburn?

Paralyzed from racing my quad, or handless from miscalculated fireworks display

BAND COMMENTS

Ken

 Eric makes me laugh, a lot. He’s got an unusual sense of music in that he likes Slayer but can also respect the catchiness of a song like ‘I kissed a girl’, which is not something most slayer fans can admit. He plays dumb all the time but it’s easy to see right through it, unless you’re dumb. Music wise he’s helped us bring back some good old fashion in your face guitar playing. We also trade poop pictures. I’m mean, no we don’t.

Greg

Eric is the definition of “Lead Guitar Player”. He’s fast, full of energy and has a whole ton of raw talent. The guy is an amazing performer. He can grab a crowd of 70 or 7000 and have them eating from the palm of his hand. But don’t tell him I said that, he’ll just get all cocky and I’ll have to tell him he sucks to take him down a peg.

Pat

The new guy – the wild child. Everything about Eric just screams raw energy and unbridled enthusiasm for life. He also thinks anything having to do with poop is funny, but we can’t all be perfect.

He has brought a whole new life and fire to the band, and I’m eternally grateful for that. He also knows how to lighten a mood when people are are disagreeing, and what he doesn’t know about science or the English language, he does know about shredding all over your face on the guitar.
