Without further adieu, my friends, Our very first music video, The Shine...
28 North The Shine

Well, I think this is a good place for us to tell some of our greatest stories to our fans.  Without further adieu, I present........
                               Up Shit Creek

It was on a dreary as can be Saturday in the small town of Herkenburg, New York, about 20 miles outside of Utica.  We had been asked to play the Utica Music Festival on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday so we decided instead of spending mad loot on a hotel room, we're going to bring the camper and camp out for the weekend at a KOA (Campground of America).  This was a beautiful setting all weekend, luscious rolling hills and a beautiful stream surround the crisp autumn air.  Beautiful, despite the ailing weather throughout the weekend.  Thursday and Friday's gigs went well, nothing TOO extraordinary if I'm being totally honest, but it doesn't mean we didn't meet some amazing people, because we did.  Just that, the gigs themselves weren't the best.  So anyways, let me get to the story here.  So, for my birthday, I was given a new fishing rod and tackle box from my wonderful friends in Clarion.  This seemed like a great time to test it out.  Afterall, we were right next to a beautiful trout stream, Canada creek.  For two days, Alex and I fished hour upon hour upon hour to no avail whatsoever and began to get a bit frustrated.  I didn't give up on Saturday becuase our show wasn't until Midnight, so I just fished all day, despite the torrential rain.  Alex decided at about 3PM to go for a healthy jog.  Upon his return, he boasted about FISHING ROCK road, a road he had stumbled on in his travels.  Fishing rock road was, funnily enough, a left turn off of 28 North in upstate New York, quite the coincidence.  Alex came back to the camper and talked about this spot where we could catch fish.  I thought, I fished enough today, naw.  So we were bored in the camper and decided to go and buy a pack of cigarettes to kill some time. The whole band got in the van with all the equipment and set out on 28 North, the road, to find the closest convenience store. I was drviving no more than 5 minutes from our homebase when Alex said "yo, here's fishing rock road, turn down this road!"  So I did.  We descended the road parallell to the road was a deep stream, much deeper than where we had fished previously, and in between the road and the stream, there lay a grassy, muddy, mucky path.  Of course, that was where the fun was, so we took the 9 pasanger school van, with bald ass tires and all of our precious gear down this path.  For about a quarter mile we were fine, until we saw a patch of mud. FLOOR IT.  So I gunned the gas to get over the patch, hoping for victory amist the other side of the fishing rock.  Nope.  Stuck as fuck.  We got out and started pushing, cursing eachothers' poor judgement.  The rain was sinking the 3 ton van more and more into the ground, with every raindrop our hopes of getting to the gig and getting the van out diminished. We had a bit of cash on us, and a cell phone.  We called every single tow company in town, ended up being 15 of them.  Nobody picked up. Panic sets in.  I tried one more company and let it ring probably 25 times, all of a sudden I hear a voice, "HELLO?"  "Yes!" I screamed and told him we were a band stuck in a patch of unforgiving mud.  He said, i'll be there in 45, just hang out. I said look for the long haired dudes covered in mud.  Jon and I started walking towards the road to see if we could flag someone down as Alex and Tyler stayed with the gear.  To our surprise, a big great four wheel silver pick up passed by us and I waived him down.  "we're stuck as shit man"  "hop in."  The man who picked us up was named Rick and he lived in the town.l  He proceeded to tell us that many cars have tried to drive here and many cars have gotten forever stuck in this very spot, and even more have ended up lost in the river below. We started freaking out.  He said, well, I'll try.  He and us proceeded to attatch the van to his truck with a chain.  We tried from the front....No go. We tried from the back....No go.  We were just too sunk into the ground.  The mud came all the way up to the frame of the car.  Without a shovel, we were screwed!  So we got on our hands and knees and began to dig our van out with our bare hands.  This seemed to be a possible solution for our predicament. Rick jumped in the truck, I jumped in the van and we set sail for the grand finale. If this didn't work, nothing would.  HIT IT, he screamed, as I did I felt the van move backwards out of the mud along with about a thousand pounds of pressure from my head float away and we were freed.  We learned a valuable lesson, don't offroad with your school van and all your gear!
Thanks again Rick

oh yea, the tow truck guy came right as we got out, oh well, sorry dude!
Love
Mike

Hey friends,
 As the 28 North summer tour winds to a close, I want to just rehash some of the amazing moments and let you know whats next for you favorite band (us).  We have had an amazing time.  We are still all in great spirits and ready for our next venture.  This tour was absolutely amazing.  We booked everything ourselves, advertised all ourselves, promoted all ourselves, paid for it our of our pocket, and I must say, hard work most certainly pays off.  We had an amazing night in Cleveland at the Winchester back in June, lots of 28 North's most hardcore fans were there rockiing out.   Columbus, amazing club called the Scarlet and Grey where we met some great people.  West Virgina, met some great people and rocked that club for about 3 hours!  Who could forget the amazing 8x10 club in our favorite city, Baltimore. Dr. Slothclaw and all ther amazing fans. Philly, packed house for 28 North, great night, epic night!  New York, probably our best playing gig of the tour, we were on point to a t and we really reached a lot of people. Boston, we met some incredible people.  Who could forget Canada, Hamilton where we showed people a new wave of American rock n' roll by the likes they have never seen!  Chicago, unbelievable people and a great showcase of what we've been doing lately.  The new 28 North has brought the performance factor up to match the musicianship we all are blessed to possess and I belive that Chicago was a great showcase of that.  Kentucky was amazing, we met some amazing people and really built some great fan relationships that I hope we will keep forever.  Buffalo, how could I forget, huge crowd with amazing music fans, and ARM CANNON CHECK THEM OUT!  Cincy, you didn't give us the love we wanted, but we love you forever anyways.  This tour has made me realize how badly I want nothing more than to make you people move and love our music.  This tour was for all of you that came to see us, all of you who supoported a hardworking band by buying Tshirts stickers and CD'S, all of you who made us feel at home no matter how far from Pittsburgh we were, THANK YOU SO MUCH.  We all feel blessed to be able to play these songs for you and we'll do it as long as you want us to.  Thank you again.

Whats next?
We are going to be putting on some big shows in Pittsburgh in the fall, trying to get some great locals to come on board. More Touring as always, A NEW RECORD!  New songs, new videos, everything you desire will be there for you
thanks again
we love you
thank for you support!..

expect mad picture updates!

Salutations from the road,

        I'm currently writing from Indianapolis at Mike's brother's apartment, watching Alex struggle through the most recent Mega Man release, it's quite exciting.  The game seems very challenging and it would probably cause me much frustration which could result in the damaging of surrounding objects and many tears.  Therefore I am avoiding any actual participation in the game and writing to you all instead.  The tour has been quite grueling this last week or so with a lot of extended hours driving on the road and very little sleep, however certainly no less fun than I have previously conveyed.  We all had a great time playing Club Absinthe in Hamilton, Ontario.  Our first show in Canada was a wonderful success, much thanks to Adrian and Pneumatic Transit for having us as well as all the enthusiastic music lovers that came to support the show, what a night!  It was lovely to meet so many kind individuals and Sidney Crosby lovers (GO PENS!!), we hope to return soon.  Also, while we were in Hamilton we came across a sweet vintage clothing store and we all bought some hip new threads which you will be able to see in our newer photos and witness live in person at our upcoming shows. 
         So after our night wound down, we immediately left for Chicago which proved to be our longest haul on the tour so far, about 10 hours with the ridiculous Chicago traffic (uuggh), I mean seriously, how do you have bumper to bumper on the freeway twenty-four f***kin seven?!  But anyway, it was well worth our drive, our first show in Chicago was absolutely wonderful, special thanks to Brian and all at Platform 1 for rocking with us.  Thanks also to Silvie, your club is beautiful and we can't wait to come back!  Next on the agenda was St. Louis, we played an acoustic set in the afternoon at a Borders and we met a lot of new fans.  It was also great to see Brandon, Niya, Lola, and Woody; it's a nice treat to spend time with family in a city where we know not a single soul.  And thanks for taking us out to the 17th St. Bar and Grill for some kick-ass bbq, mmmm ribs.
          Next up we have Memphis.  Very cool.  We arrived a day before hour show to have a little fun and check out the scene in the city that birthed rock n roll, as some like to say.  We again had some monumentally awesome bbq at Central BBQ.  Thanks to Kyle for helping us out there and wow, I truly gorged myself that day, I was in a food coma for nearly two hours.  We then drove around a bit and stumbled upon the legendary Sun Studios which wasn't actually open at the time but we got a good picture in front.  The rest of the evening we spent on Beale St checking out all the blues bands in the bars, and what a scene that is, it was quite lively for a Monday night.  The next night we played our show at Murphy's Pub to a very receptive crowd.  Thanks much to Kyle, Luke, and the gang for coming out and our new Scottish friend John we met the night before.  Good times, we hope to see you guys again soon! 
           That's about all for now, more to come very soon.  Oh, and we saw the new Harry Potter movie and I must say, booooooooring.  Even more so than the last one.  Granted we did not see it in 3D but honestly I am hard pressed to imagine that it would improve the film experience anyway.  I mean they chopped out the whole fight scene at the end with the Death Eaters and where the hell was Neville Longbottom through the whole thing?  Unfortunate if you ask me, but I have strong hopes for a more exciting seventh movie, or maybe it's just time to be done with this Potter nonsense, let me know what you think.

Till next time,
Ty
