Where to start? Well...between fending off autograph seekers and sifting through piles and piles of potential seven figure record deals, there just isn't much time for the men of TwentyEightN to live a "normal" life. Seriously, would somebody please put a tent on this circus. I suppose I'll get used to all this someday, but right now I long for the days when I was just a "Regular Joe" and not the "next big thing" in the biz!
The paragraph above was full of lies. I apologize. The truth is we're all poor as hell and living in an apartment in Queens, NY. Sounds glamorous, no? Looking on the bright side, we're chasing our dreams and aren't ready to give up anytime soon. We'll try to keep our heads above water here in this cesspool you call NYC until we "hit the road" (i.e. "the loop"...covering Newcomb, Minerva, North Creek, Indian Lake. Blue Mountain Lake, Long Lake and all points in between!!!!) with our posse in the Summer of '05, when we can finally get out and do what we were meant to do...play music as our means of survival.
Well loves, I'll let you go now. I'm off on an expedition which begins Monday. I'll be hunting the elusive white-tailed deer (or Odocoileus virginianus if you so desire) in the beautiful Catskill Mountain region. Then I'm off to my Adirondack Mountain home of Newcomb, NY for a gluttonous feast. Hit the turkey hard boys and girls...but if you do, dont' get behind the wheel. Too much turkey will make you sleepy. Friends don't let friends drive with a stomach full of turkey. Happy Holidays to all y'all.
Blue skies,
Lowell

I understand you've got some cooking tips for us Dianne.
Hello everyone,
I'd first like to give my partner in crime Lowell a shoutout for getting this new fancy journal together. I now have the freedom to post my thoughts to you whenever it feels right........and it does tonight. We played a couple of shows this week, starting in Manhattan and ending in Buffalo. It was a pleasure sharing the stage with Scott Celani, and the guys in More than Me on both evenings, as well as meeting several new bands. I'd like to thank Scott for setting up an amazing event that inspired what I believe was our best performance ever at the Tralf saturday night. We ate and drank, and had a great time, and got to see so many of our old and best friends. We appreciate your support so much, and having you all behind us keeps up dreaming, and makes us want to keep writing songs!! You rock.
My favorite song in Buffalo was "Over". This is a new one that came from a really raw and exposed place, and Kris and Lowell just step up the whole experience for me........and damn....I was really feeling that one!! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did.
New shows are in the works, and the word on the street is that some amazing artwork is ready to go for the album. I can't wait to see it, and we'll definitely be incorporating it into the new web design as soon as we can.
On a personal note, I love fall, and so the past few weeks have been absolutely amazing. This time of year always gets me, and inspires me, and makes me very aware of where I've been, and what i have to be thankful for. The people that you care about, family and friends, they matter the most. Make sure you let 'em know.;)
Please pass the love ;-),
Nate

As Kris and Lowell and I cruised down 2nd Ave. in Manhattan in the ever trusty Dodge Stratus we had a realization. It suddenly occurred to us that we were on our way to play our first rock show in NYC at Arlene's Grocery. We did just that on Friday night and it felt amazing!! It was a forty-five minute set packed full of songs off the new EP, as well as a few unreleased "brand spankin' new" songs. Just wanna say thanks to Arlene's for having us and also a huge thank you to everyone who came to see us play. You made our virgin voyage a memorable one and we look forward to many more shows in the near future. Speaking of that, we do have a show in the works for October 20th at Acme Underground with Scott Celani, More than Me, and Jasper. This should be a great night so stay tuned for more details. P.S. We are handing out free discs right now without artwork, so if you want the new stuff for free, get to a show and secure yourself a copy. The real finished and pretty product is coming soon, we'll let you know. Til next time, peace, love, power and progress.

Hey guys,
Lowell and I just arrived back in Queens after a pretty intense road trip to Buffalo. The show at Nietzsche's went incredibly well and all the bands sounded great! Thanks again to Scott Celani for booking the show and to everyone who came to see us. YOU made it a really special night for our band! We owe you a million thanks and couldn't ask for a better group of people...you rock!!!
Eighteen hours in my car has made Lowell and I a little crazy. Not only did we ride 7 hours back and forth, but we also slept in the old Stratus last night after we'd had a few too many at the bar. So anyway, I will end it here, but the show was great and we handed out as many burned copies of the new record as we could produce. If you aren't one of those lucky few, don't worry, the finished product with artwork is on the way!
We've also booked our first full band show in the city at Arlene's Grocery on Sept. 10 and there will be more details to come very soon!! If you live in the area, or wanna come down and visit, we'd love to see you! I'll squeeze a few of you in my bed and the rest, well...the floor's not as bad as it looks! Anyway, 28N is back, go tell somebody!!!
Peace,
Nate

Hey guys,
It's been a few months since we last checked in, but with the new record so close that we can taste it, there seems to be no better time. The days are flying by down here in NYC thanks to a crazy work schedule and our preparations for the release of "This Planet Mercy". This multiple part-time job thing is taking its toll but there's always time to daydream, and time to plan for the 28N explosion that has been a long time in the making.
Last weekend Lowell and I flew up to Buffalo with our roommate Eric to mix some business and pleasure. On the serious side we met with producer Brent Bodrug to listen to some mixes of the five tracks that will be on the new EP. They are well on their way to being the undisputed best work that we've ever produced as band, and we're so proud and excited to show them to you. It will be a little while until we can have all the artwork pressed up with the disc, but hopefully we'll have new music for you all well in advance of the CD release. Make sure you check the website often so that you can get your hands on these new masterpieces!
While in the Buffalo area we also hung it out in our old college town of Fredonia, NY where we had a... "nice" time ;). We hung out with our favorite and only 28N bassist Kris, I got 10 frames of bowling in with Jake and Sully, and we caught up with many, many old friends. Thanks to Dave for hooking us up with a place to stay, for the free binge at Erie dining hall on Friday night, 40 Center for remaining party central, and thanks to everyone who made the whole weekend such an experience.
Now that we are back in the city there is more good news to report. Lowell and I played an acoustic show last weekend at Lunasa on the corner of St. Marks and 1st Ave. which went extremely well. We made some new friends, booked another show there on the 30th of the month, and will have more bookings in the near future. Again, stay tuned and keep coming back here to visit us and find out when and where the 28N shows will be!
Life is good, about to get better, and thanks so much to all of you our family and friends for hanging with us through this hiatus. We've been hard at work getting this album ready, and getting situated in NYC, and the time is drawing near when we can show you all what we've been up to. Everyone can dream on their own, but having you all to dream with us makes us the luckiest guys in the world, and we're gonna do this thing ;). Thanks for all your continued support, and we'll be back soon to say hello. I hope you are all doing well, living and loving, and I look forward to the time when our paths cross again. Special thanks to our roommates at 2586 46th St., Lauren, Eric, and Anne Marie, for holding it down and fighting the good fight with us. We'll talk soon, be good ;).
