Biography
Arriving at its present incarnation after nearly a decade of personal and musical growth, 28GATES has honed their sound. The Saint Petersburg, FL- based quartet continues to create a musical BUZZ in the varied musical and cultural atmosphere that is the Tampa Bay Music Scene. Throughout the years the band, playing together since high school, has evolved from having 6 members to 4. In 1998, the band released a full length CD "What Do You Think?" with independent label Fat Toe Records. The album attracted local and national attention fueling the band to tour throughout FL and The U.S. 28gates has also had the pleasure to open for many national acts including 311, Kid Rock, (Hed) Planet Earth, Everclear, and Long Beach Short Bus to name a few! With the long awaited release of a new 11 song CD entitled Will Travel and plenty of gigs to back it up, they are ready to Funk you like you've never been funked. What do they sound like? What style of music do they play? FUNK, ROCK or SOUL? Brothers and sisters this is a question left for you the listener to ultimately answer for yourself. 28gates is a musical blast from the past with an entrepreneur's ear for the future.

This silence is sick
Try to ignore it but my skin aint that thick
Every corner that I turn
I feel another cold shoulder and a stare starts to burn

I can't wait to tell the fool
What I just might do

Keep your enemies close but keep your friends closer
I've been burned, the story turns, I can't sleep no more
I think you better run. I think you better get far
Hide away, find a place to stay under the radar
Under the radar

Now I'm hatin myself cause I cant stop thinkin
I got this head full of anger and lord I been drinkin
I'll find you one day I swear it but I cant say when
I hate to admit it but you gotta be a real close friend

Now I cant wait to tell the fool
What I just might do

Keep your enemies close but keep your friends closer
I've been burned, the story turns, I can't sleep no more
I think you better run. I think you better get far
Hide away, find a place to stay under the radar
Under the radar

Somethings missing
I better watch my back again

Keep your enemies close but keep your friends closer
I've been burned, the story turns, I can't sleep no more
I think you better run. I think you better get far
Hide away, find a place to stay under the radar
Under the radar

Autumn days
Fallin leaves and
Shes gonna say shes been feelin changing ways
And just to make her feel
That everythings ok
I send flowers home, call her when she's alone,
Cause she always wants me near
Dear to her heart
She fears in the fall
But Im not gonna go away

SHE - is the type that needs a little reassurance
SHE - knows that I'm in love but she always wants me to show it
SHE - is the type that reads into people sub-consciousLY
And shes always thinkin I just might break her heart

Chocolate colored hair
and candy underwear
At times I think I'd give anything up if I could be right there
Cause at times I fear the fall
And I understand it all
Oh its just so plain to see this girl is just like me
And just to make her feel
That everythings ok
I send flowers home, call her when she's alone,
Cause she always wants me near
Dear to her heart
She fears in the fall
But Im not gonna go away
Come on baby please don't start

SHE - is the type that needs a little reassurance
SHE - knows that I'm in love but she always wants me to show it
SHE - is the type that reads into people sub-consciousLY
And shes always thinkin I just might break her heart

She's the one for me

SHE - is the type that needs a little reassurance
SHE - knows that I'm in love but she always wants me to show it
SHE - is the type that reads into people sub-consciousLY
And shes always thinkin I just might break her heart

Late last night I had a dream
It made me think an aweful thing
You see you and I we were done
You were only playin with my heart for fun

Now that it's been said
I don't mind that you want to leave I'm sick of redin the signs
Now that it's been said
It's all right that you dont love me anymore thats fine
Now that its been said
I wont cry cause Im better off without you wastin my time
Now that its been said
Ill be fine Im a brand new man with a brand new plan and Im alive

Lately lady it does seem
As if you got some rotten scheme up your sleeve
I just got to know your feelings clear hun
Or else live my life with my heart full of fear

Now that it's been said
I don't mind that you want to leave I'm sick of redin the signs
Now that it's been said
It's all right that you dont love me anymore thats fine
Now that its been said
I wont cry cause Im better off without you wastin my time
Now that its been said
Ill be fine Im a brand new man with a brand new plan and Im alive
