NY/CT Top 40 style Cover Band (Westchester/Putnam)

[E-Mac]

Hey all. I just gave notice to my band that I will be leaving due to personal/professional obligations. I actually got this gig from an ad here on TB, 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, and a great bunch of musicians. 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 4-6 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 2-3 practices per 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 - early 30's, and they are looking for someone within that range (I'm currently 23). We have some members down in Yonkers and one as north as Fishkill.
I committed to playing through the beginning of September, but if you are ready to hop on board before that, you are more than welcome. Have reliable gear and transportation. I've actually been going straight from my Sadowsky Pre/DI right into the board without an amp and it's been no problem.

Here's an example of a recent gig's set list:

As an FYI to the TB community, I'll be the contact guy but everything else is up to the band. So, give me all of the info you feel I should have:
Location, gear, transportation, age, experience, and so on. I'll relay everything to the group and then back to you.

as a quick update, I believe I may be extending my stay in this band. If circumstance changes, I'll update.
