28 Costumes are five people. Christopher, Anthony, Andrew, Joanne and Allastair. We were brought together through a series of fortunate and unfortunate events which happened over a number of years.
Named after a starving 18th century actor, we were born out of a conversation about waste in the back seat of a parked car in Liverpool circa 2004. Since that curious day we have played shows in all sorts of places far and wide, parading our craft through all corners of the world; magical secret forests in Germany; in Texas, where we hooked up with Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips to play a song together for the Jay leno show; shows in moonlit vineyards, after-hours piano sing-alongs in old Irish pubs aswell as traditional shows with some of today’s most popular bands – Glasvegas, The Futureheads, Supergrass, Seasick Steve (who carved the bands name into his arm in marker pen for a festival show and exclaimed his love for us live onstage), Editors and Bloc Party and in June 2008 played a monumental debut Glastonbury show .
We've released a run of EP’s and singles and album ‘Fake Death Experience’ and now have our new single , ‘This Band Has Eaten All Our Money’ out through our own Rekordmeister label. Artworked with the names of everybody who has given us money over the past four years of which there are many! This single precedes our second album due our this summer!
These are some of the djs who play our music: John Kennedy, Huw Stephens, Chris Martin, Janice Long, Steve Lamaqc, Tom Robinson
We have had had lots of brilliant things said about us too ....check the press bits below if you are interested but here's a few recents bits:
28 Costumes have an insane energy, ripping through their set with fantastic furore and anthemic choruses." The Fly
"A defiantly elegant explosion of rock angst and realism. 28 Costumes are something to be listened to, not read about." Unpeeled
"For flat-packing adrenaline, they're up with the best - here's a hands down winner" The Skinny
