Learning keyboard...

After several attempts to expand my four piece function band to five by addding a keyboard, I've decided to try and learn myself. We've binned a few songs because they frankly sound crap with just bass, drums & guitar. I'm still going to be mainly on bass, but switch to keys for a few numbers and cover the low end with my left hand. Before I can do this, I need to learn to play! Can anyone give any advice?

I'm not entirely un-knowledgable, I had some lessons when I was school, but I'm far from competent! What I've been doing so far is:

- Leaning common chords
- Figuring out major scales - done C,G,D,A,E & B so far!
- Playing along with songs I know the chords for - basic chords with my right hand and root notes with my left.
- Trying to read treble-clef - using an iPad app where you play the notes it shows you on a virtual keyboard.

I've tried looking online for lessons, but they generally are very basic.

Any advice anyone can give would be much appreciated!
