NY/CT Top 40 style Cover Band (Westchester)

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey all. I just gave notice to my band that I will be leaving to focus on a r&b trio I started. I actually got this gig from an ad here on TB(then left, then rejoined), so I'm just going to copy most of what was posted before (with a few changes):

This is a fun top 40 cover band (pretty loud) playing mostly current pop/rock with some 70s and 80s mixed in. It really is a fun mix of music. The band consists of drums, bass, 2 guitarists, and male and female lead singers. Three 45-60 min long sets are the standard. They learn about 4 new songs a month to keep the sets fresh.

We play mostly Westchester County, NY with some Long Island and Southern CT mixed in, about 4 - 8 gigs a month with 1-2 practices a month. The shows range from hot clubs to Irish Pubs. It's a great time to let loose playing fun music.

The age range is currently late 20's - late 30's, and they are looking for someone within that range (I'm currently 25). We have some members down in Yonkers and one as north as Fishkill.
Have reliable gear and transportation.

Here's an example of a recent gig's set list:
SET 1
ALL SUMMER LONG
!RAISE YOUR GLASS
SEMI-CHARMED LIFE
BILLIONAIRE
!ARE YOU GONNA BE MY GIRL
BASKETCASE/!SPIDERWEBS
THE STORY OF A GIRL
!TEENAGE DREAM
THE LAZY SONG
!YOUR LOVE / JESSIE'S GIRL / 69
!ANYWAY YOU WANT IT *
HARD TO HANDLE
!I WANT YOU TO WANT ME
!I LOVE ROCK & ROLL
SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG

SET 2
FORGET YOU
!ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD
DJ GOT US FALLIN IN LOVE
!UMBRELLA/!BAD ROMANCE
LET IT ROCK/ !JUST DANCE
!TAKE IT OFF
POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME
!PARIS(OOOH LA LA)
!DON'T STOP BELIEVIN
LIVING ON A PRAYER / BAD NAME
!SWEET CHILD OF MINE
HERE I GO AGAIN
!BRING ME TO LIFE

Pay averages between $100 and $150 a night (per person) with the occasional $250+ from private parties,.
Please PM me with any questions.

I'm assuming that their search is over. If I could close the thread, that's what I'd do now.

I am currently looking for something in the top 40's circut again. I used to run the omnipop circut and I was looking to get back into it.... shoot me an email with the details of the gig(OFDMusicman965@aol.com) The music isn't an issue I know most of the songs in the sets u posted, how busy are they and do they have subs available? I have an original band so on occassion conflicts do arise. thank you!
