As soon as I reached the decision I got a call to go do an audition

enough for me (3-5 gigs a month instead of the 8-12 I want) but they are a
lot of fun and super nice people so I think I will offer to play with them
at least for a while, until I find something to keep me busy.

Does your new band know that you will just be biding your time with
them until something better comes along? I'd be pissed if my band
spent the time and effort to get someone up to speed only to have them
leave for another band.
