Airdate is an unsigned 4 piece pop/rock band from eastern Long Island. The band is comprised of members Doug Del Gaudio (Vocals/Guitar); Daniel McCabe (Bass); Stephen Forys (Drums); and Christopher Loret (Guitar).
Airdate began in the spring of 2000, when Doug Del Gaudio and Stephen Forys met at Center Moriches High School on Long Island after finding similar interests in their taste and passion for music. After years of playing together and recording some acoustic demos, Producer/engineer Anthony Santonocito encouraged them to expand their writing skills further by recording an EP with him at Killingsworth Recording Company. After months of writing and recording, they crafted 6 songs for their EP "Problems, Problems". Guest musicians on the record included Chris Chachi Guglielmo of Bayside (Drums).
In the summer of 2006 Airdate acquired bassist, Daniel McCabe who was introduced by a long time friend. McCabe grew up playing in several bands from the Long Island scene. Christopher Loret finally joined the group in the fall of 2006 on guitar. Chris was previously a former member of different projects with Doug and Steve years previous. Chris' energy, dedication, and playing ability proved to be the perfect match to complete the bands line up in 2006.
In the past 6 months, Airdates fan base has been constantly growing and expanding to different parts of the world. Music sharing websites such as PureVolume and MySpace has helped display the bands music, reaching over 180,000 people and over 190,000 plays in such a short period of time. They have recently been featured several times on music sharing website known as PureVolume.com, receiving more plays then chart topping Billboard artists such as Avril Lavigne, Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance, becoming the #1 unsigned band by plays and downloads several times.
In the fall of 2006, Airdate signed on with former Capitol Records A&R, Loren Israel to be the band's consultant. Loren is known for his work with such bands as Jimmy Eat World, Sugarcult, Plain White Ts, Less Than Jake, Rock Kills Kid, and many more. At the current time, Airdate is currently writing and crafting new songs with producer Mia Koo (The Kung Fu Girls) which will be recorded in late June with John Naclerio (My Chemical Romance, Brand New) at Nada Studios.
