You remember the exact second “Hey Ya!” came on during a drive with the windows down. The way “Mr. Brightside” turned every basement party into a singalong. The feeling of hearing “Yeah!” for the first time and knowing the night was about to get louder. That version of music—the one that lived on TRL countdowns, car stereos, and club speakers—is coming back to downtown Statesboro on May 28th.
Y2K Kids Band is performing at Alive After 5, the outdoor downtown series that turns East Main Street into a live-music gathering every Thursday evening. Doors open at 7pm. Admission is free. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and settle in near the Bulloch County Courthouse for a full night of 2000s hits played live by a six-piece band that knows how to work a crowd.

About Y2K Kids Band
Y2K Kids Band is a six-piece cover group built to handle the full scope of 2000s music. Shannon Remley and Ray Hartsfield share lead vocals, with Hartsfield also on guitar. Doug Grabowski plays bass and adds vocals. G K Via handles lead guitar and vocals. Rob Bowser covers keyboards and synths. Mike Graci runs drums and electronic percussion. Together, they move through pop, pop rock, alternative, hip hop, R&B, and dance with the kind of confidence that comes from understanding how those songs actually worked when they first hit radio and club playlists.
What You Will Hear
Expect the kind of night where you might hear “Yeah!” by Usher, “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers, “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga, “Hey Ya!” by OutKast, “Since U Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson, “Hot in Herre” by Nelly, “Misery Business” by Paramore, “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson, and “SexyBack” by Justin Timberlake. The setlist pulls from TRL countdowns, mall-era anthems, and bass-heavy club tracks that still sound right when played live in front of people who remember them the first time around.
