About Y2K Kids Band
Y2K Kids Band is Shannon Remley on lead vocals, Ray Hartsfield on lead vocals and guitar, Doug Grabowski on bass guitar and vocals, G K Via on lead guitar and vocals, Rob Bowser on keyboards and synths, and Mike Graci on drums and electronic percussion. The six-piece lineup covers the full 2000s spectrum including pop, pop-rock, alternative, hip-hop, R&B, and dance. They recreate the sound of an era when radio hits, club beats, and TRL-era energy collided, bringing crowd-driven singalongs and the kind of setlist that moves between Britney and OutKast without missing a step.
What You Will Hear
Expect the kind of night where you might hear “Yeah!” by Usher, “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers, “Single Ladies” by Beyoncé, “Hot in Herre” by Nelly, “Since U Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson, “Hey Ya!” by OutKast, “Toxic” by Britney Spears, “SexyBack” by Justin Timberlake, and “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” by Panic! at the Disco. The setlist pulls from pop hooks that dominated the charts, hip-hop tracks that owned the clubs, rock anthems that filled arenas, and dance beats that kept the floor packed. It’s the music that soundtracked high school parking lots, college dorm rooms, and every night out in between.
