However Joseph considers its current lineup featuring Drummer Mark Sticks and Bass player, Lead vocalist, Dave O, to be the tightest version of Center Drive yet.
Center Drive’s live sets consist of a majority of hard rock, metal and
classic rock covers from the 1970’s through today by artists such as Led
Zeppelin, Van Halen, Bad Company, ZZ Top and Black Sabbath. The band also
plays a few original songs as well.
Center Drive puts on a high-energy live show that appeals to a wide
audience. They have previously played Chicago venues such as the Elbo Room and Nite Caps as well as clubs in the Chicago area suburbs. The band also works hard to promote its shows through its web site and email mailing list and through fliers and press in area media
outlets. Center
Drive also has access to a full PA and light system and can provide this
service if a house PA system is not available. Whether it is their powerful live show, their musical experience and their hard work promoting their shows, Center Drive continues to get more
recognition with each performance and are quickly building a solid
reputation as a band to watch in the Chicago area music scene.
