Amplified Heat are gearing up for multiple performances during South By Southwest 2009 in Austin Texas. It all starts for us tomorrow night, Friday March 13 for “Amplified Heat @ uStream Studios Live From The Belmont“ live web broadcast. You can see our broadcast here online. Followed by an appearance at The Hole In The Wall on Saturday , March 14. It has been 3 years since the last time we played there. Then it all shifts into high gear with a pre SXSW Party Showcase at Red Eyed Fly, headlining the inside stage between sets from Honky and Lions on Tuesday, March 17. Then we appear as “special guests” for Get Hip Recordings Showcase at Habana on 6th St on Wednesday, March 18. The madness then resumes on Saturday, March 21 for 3 performances. A day show at Electra Beauty Lounge at noon. Followed by the Whoopsy Magazine Party at Trophys on S. Congress at 5:30 pm. All ends with our ”second” official show at Headhunters on Red River at midnight. All details regarding time slots are posted here in our sidebar. We will fully be re-stocked with CD’s, T-shirts and our wildly popular hot sauce! We also like to announce we are adding newly written tunes, which are still in their infancy, into our setlist. The idea is to “road test” the new, raw material before live audiences so they can develop and make them familiar to our fans in time for the official release of the new record. We hope to see all our friends and make new ones during our super busy week coming up!
Amplified Heat on tour
Amplified Heat is on the books to unload a one-two punch tour in cities across the mid-west and east. The boys come straight from their homebase in Austin, Texas to lower the boom with what has become their trademark one-part rent party & one-part rocknroll event. In-between several bouts of touring, such appearances with the notable likes of psychedelic Texas pioneer Roky Erickson and S.F. Bay Area rock icons Blue Cheer, and serious Austin throwdowns of their Arclight Records 2007 release “How Do You Like The Sound Of That”, Amplified Heat remains true to their direct assignment to turn you on.
This high voltage date comes as the cusp of Amplified Heat’s commitment to summon their electric boogie roots. Fueled with the desire to lessen the metal and champion the boogie groove, the Ortiz brothers are exhuming their 2000-2002 material of their first incarnation as Blues Condition. These tunes will emerge homegrown - re-mixed, re-mastered, and rare on a single compilation release onto it’s own, as well as the next brand new album in the works, and as a straight shot experience live at each show.
You can witness the rock fever fury of Amplified Heat live at the shows listed on this site and the band’s MySpace page. Come ready for the knockout. Come ready to rip it up! Gonna be a rock & roll RIOT. Amplified Heat delivers nothing less.

Anyone who’s ever witnessed Amplified Heat ignite live knows the Ortiz brothers never back down from confrontation. On the contrary, the Austin trio’s skuzzy blues hearken back to a time when rock & roll was still something to fear. read more…
