Last Updated: 7/20/2026
Washington’s 2000s cover bands can pull from a wide lane, from pop-punk hooks and emo choruses to indie sleaze, alt-rock radio, glossy pop, and dance-floor throwbacks. For weddings, corporate events, festivals, private parties, fundraisers, casino nights, class reunions, clubs, theaters, and themed celebrations, the right band needs more than a nostalgic song list. This guide looks at acts with practical event value, including setlists, lineup details, venue history, reviews, live show style, and booking flexibility. The goal is to help planners find a band that fits the room, the crowd, and the kind of 2000s energy they want.
Altered 2Ks
Altered 2Ks is a Seattle-based cover band for the louder side of 2000s nostalgia: emo choruses, pop-punk hooks, nu-metal crunch, and alt-rock singalongs. Their public pages frame the act around early 2000s emo, pop punk, nu-metal, and alt-rock, with The Bash pointing to Blink-182, Paramore, LP, Papa Roach, and MCR as reference points.
A Hoops Yakima listing names Erin White on lead vocals and guitar, Ryan Murray on lead guitar, Rick White on bass and vocals, and Steven Horgan on drums. Because that lineup comes from a venue listing rather than the band’s own Facebook page, it is useful but not as strong as an official band bio.
A full verified song-title setlist was not publicly available. The safer read is that Altered 2Ks works the Warped Tour and Myspace-era lane, with public sources emphasizing early 2000s emo, pop punk, nu-metal, and alt-rock rather than publishing a clean song list.
Onstage, the band is built around loud, guitar-forward nostalgia rather than smooth variety-band polish. The fit is more pop-punk shout-along and nu-metal release valve than background music.
Their venue trail includes Jazzbones in Tacoma, where the band’s Facebook activity references a sold-out show, plus Washington dates tied to Tony V’s Garage in Everett, The Brick Saloon in Roslyn, Hoops in Yakima, and Arcadian Public House in Conway.
Social proof is strongest on social platforms, not review sites. Public search results show more than 5,000 Facebook likes and 4K+ Instagram followers, but I did not find a verified WeddingWire, The Knot, Bandsintown, or The Bash review rating.
For booking, The Bash lists Altered 2Ks as a Seattle rock band that will travel up to 100 miles, with pricing starting at $1,500. Their listed service categories include cover band, punk band, metal band, rock band, indie rock band, and wedding band.
Best fits include 2000s theme nights, clubs, bar stages, rock-forward private parties, and casual wedding receptions where the crowd wants emo hooks, pop-punk choruses, and alt-rock nostalgia instead of a broad Top 40 mix.

Y2K
Y2K! is a Seattle early-2000s tribute band built for the era of flip phones, TRL pop, crunk club hooks, pop-punk choruses, and ringtone rap. The band frames itself as a millennial dance party, with a set that reaches across hip-hop, pop, rock, R&B, and dance music.
The official lineup lists Gabrielle on lead vocals, Jon on keys, Dexter on bass/vocals, Roberto on drums/vocals, Kawai on vocals, and Shelby on vocals. The band also notes that five vocalists are in the mix, which helps explain how they cover everything from Usher and Britney Spears to Linkin Park and Lady Gaga.
The setlist is the main selling point. Verified songs include “Tik Tok,” “Super Bass,” “Love In This Club,” “In Da Club,” “Lose Yourself,” “Bring Me To Life,” “Poker Face,” “Low,” “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” “Mr. Brightside,” and “Yeah!” It reads like an iPod-shuffle snapshot of the decade, moving from club tracks to emo singalongs to glossy radio pop.
Onstage, Y2K! leans into the visual joke and the musical payoff: tracksuits, flip phones, Mean Girls-era nostalgia, and a dance-floor-first approach. The band also says it has added newer 2012 to 2025 dance hits, so the show is not locked strictly to the aughts if a crowd needs a few more current hooks.
Venue proof includes The Washington State Fair in Puyallup, Clearwater Casino, Little Creek Casino, McMenamin’s Elks Temple Spanish Ballroom, High Dive, Tony V’s, The Lime, and Aurora Borealis. That mix points more toward clubs, casinos, fairs, and themed parties than quiet background entertainment.
Public rating counts were not found on the major review platforms checked. The strongest social-proof item found was a Facebook search result showing testimonial-style praise tied to The Point Casino, but no star rating, review count, or review date was available.
Published booking logistics are limited. The site provides a contact form, but does not list set lengths, travel range, private-event packages, production specs, attire options, or ceremony/cocktail services.
Best fits include 2000s themed celebrations, casinos, clubs, fairs, festivals, class reunions, private parties, and dance-forward corporate events. For weddings, Y2K! makes the most sense when the couple wants the reception to feel like a full-on 2000s party rather than a traditional all-ages variety band.

Rocket Bleach
Rocket Bleach is a Seattle alternative and grunge cover band that fits the 2000s-cover-band conversation from the rock side of the decade. This is not a glossy Y2K pop act. It is a guitar-forward 90s-to-2000s alt-rock band for rooms that want grunge, radio rock, and heavier nostalgia.
The current lineup lists Ken Palmer on vocals and guitars, Alec Duxbury on vocals and guitars, Alfredo Tryferis on bass, and Dom Campese on drums and vocals.
Their public repertoire centers on artists like Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, Blur, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, The Strokes, Sublime, Radiohead, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Bush, Third Eye Blind, and The Toadies. Public promo snippets also point to songs such as “Song 2,” “Creep,” “Even Flow,” “Would?,” “Sex Type Thing,” “Nutshell,” “Vasoline,” “Been Caught Stealing,” and “Every You Every Me.”
Onstage, Rocket Bleach leans into the heavier end of nostalgia: grunge choruses, alt-rock riffs, and the kind of familiar Seattle-adjacent rock catalog that works better in a club, pub, private party, or reunion than a polished Top 40 dance set.
The band traces its formation to 2020 and has documented venue proof at The Hidden Door BBQ, The Hidden Door in Shoreline, and Madison Ave. Pub in Everett.
Social proof is still light in the publicly visible sources. GigSalad lists Rocket Bleach with no reviews yet, while a Facebook search result shows 110 likes.
For booking, GigSalad lists Rocket Bleach as a Seattle cover band that travels up to 60 miles. The venue is expected to provide sound reinforcement, and the band publicly positions itself for wedding receptions, sports bars, clubs, and event spaces.
Best fit: clubs, rock bars, class reunions, private parties, casual corporate events, 90s/2000s alternative nights, and wedding receptions where the couple wants Pearl Jam, Radiohead, STP, and Foo Fighters energy over a standard dance-band set.

Vote for Pedro the Band
Vote for Pedro the Band is a Seattle and Puget Sound cover band built for planners who want a live rock party with a real 2000s lane, not a strict decade costume act. Their set reaches into the era with “Waitin’ on the World to Change,” “I’m Yours,” “Float On,” and “Sunday Morning,” then stretches across older rock, funk, country, and party staples.
The lineup is a four-piece with extra color in the arrangements: Nabil Kausal-Hayes on guitar and vocals, Jeff Tillinghast on keys, sax, and vocals, Steve Damm on drums and vocals, and Tracy Wilkinson on bass, trumpet, harmonica, and vocals. That gives the band more movement than a straight guitar-bass-drums setup, especially when horns and harmonica enter the set.
The songlist is broad enough for mixed-age dance floors without losing the 2000s thread. Alongside the John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Modest Mouse, and Maroon 5 picks, they list “What I Got,” “Never There,” “One Headlight,” “Babylon,” “Superstition,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Purple Rain,” and “You Shook Me All Night Long.”
Onstage, Vote for Pedro reads like a flexible Northwest party-rock band: multiple lead vocalists, acoustic options for smaller gatherings, and full-band sets for weddings, corporate events, festivals, casinos, and block parties. Their official songbook is described as changing and open to requests, which matters for clients trying to bridge cocktail-hour ease, dance-floor favorites, and 2000s nostalgia.
Their venue trail includes Kirkland Summerfest, where Kirkland Reporter listed them as “Rock from the 60’s to Present,” plus 7 Cedars Casino’s Club Seven in Sequim. The band’s own event history also points to clubs, casinos, ski areas, block parties, and regional travel across the PNW, with past trips to Montana, Colorado, and Alaska.
Social proof is modest but useful. WeddingWire lists the Seattle act at 5.0 from 1 review, and the band’s own testimonials include a 200+ guest wedding where three guests later booked VFP for their own weddings, plus corporate feedback noting that the band arrived early, handled logistics, and extended playtime when asked.
For logistics, The Bash lists Vote for Pedro the Band as a Seattle cover band with travel up to 100 miles and starting pricing at $1,000. Their official booking contact is Vo*****************@***il.com.
Best-fit events include weddings, corporate parties, festivals, private parties, casino events, class reunions, clubs, block parties, and 2000s-themed celebrations that need familiar guitar-driven songs, shared vocals, and a setlist that can roam from blog-rock and acoustic pop to classic dance-floor standards.

Y2K Kids
Y2K Kids is not verified as a Washington State-based band, and the public sources I reviewed do not confirm Pacific Northwest availability, so any Washington booking would need direct confirmation. What is verified is the concept: a six-piece 2000s tribute band built around the decade’s pop radio, emo hooks, hip-hop choruses, R&B grooves, and guitar-driven rock.
The official lineup lists 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. That mix of multiple vocalists, keys, guitars, bass, and drums gives the band a wider palette than a straight-ahead rock cover act.
Their setlist leans into songs that people recognize fast: “Yeah!,” “Toxic,” “Hey Ya!,” “Low,” “Mr. Brightside,” “Misery Business,” “Bring Me to Life,” “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” “Since U Been Gone,” and “Seven Nation Army.” For a Washington State event, that kind of range could fit crowds that want a little club energy, a little emo-night catharsis, and a few big rock choruses in the same set.
Y2K Kids’ show is built around participation rather than background music. The strongest appeal is the quick-hit nostalgia of first lines, first riffs, and choruses that pull people in before they have time to overthink the throwback.
Their strongest verified event proof is Princeton University Reunions 2026, where Y2K Kids was listed for Class of 2021 casino-night entertainment. They also appeared on the Downtown Live 2026 lineup in Statesboro, giving the band public concert-series proof alongside private-event potential.
For logistics, the official site routes booking through band manager Mike Graci and states that Y2K Kids is available for festivals, private events, and live music venues. The site also includes a downloadable stage plot, which helps planners and venues think through production before sending an inquiry.
Best-fit Washington State events include 2000s theme nights, class reunions, casino nights, private parties, festivals, club dates, theaters, and nostalgia-driven events where a live band version of the decade’s biggest songs makes more sense than a DJ-only format.

Soundtrack
SoundTrack is a Seattle-area cover band with a movie-soundtrack twist, built around Gen X movie anthems, supporting-role jams, and a catalog that reaches into the 2000s alongside 80s, 90s, and earlier favorites. For a Washington 2000s cover-band list, the fit is its early-aughts radio-rock lane rather than a strict 2000s-only concept.
The public booking profile describes the lineup as female and male lead vocals with multi-instrumentalists. A full current roster is not published, so the useful booking takeaway is the vocal flexibility: this is not a single-frontperson nostalgia act.
The 2000s side of the list includes “Chasing Cars,” “Drops of Jupiter,” “Island in the Sun,” “Kryptonite,” “Like a Stone,” “Take Me Out,” “The Scientist,” “Yellow,” “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” and “The Story.” That gives planners a recognizable mix of post-grunge, glossy alt-rock, coffeehouse-pop, and blog-rock hooks without losing the broader movie-theme frame.
Onstage, the verified pitch is tight vocal harmonies, male and female leads, and a soundtrack-party feel. Think less museum-piece tribute and more familiar songs that hit like old DVD menus, mall radios, and early-2000s playlists coming back into focus.
The Bash lists SoundTrack as a member since 2023 with 3 verified bookings, including a Sammamish graduation party, a Sumner club event, and a Snoqualmie Halloween party. Named venue proof is limited, so the strongest confirmed credibility is the verified booking history rather than a marquee room.
Social proof is still small but clean: The Bash shows a 5.0 rating from 1 review. That June 2024 graduation-party review praised the band’s professionalism, communication before the event, sound, and guest response.
For logistics, The Bash lists travel up to 120 miles from Seattle, virtual services offered, online payment accepted, and a starting price of $650 per event. The published song list also directs clients to contact the band for special requests.
SoundTrack is a good fit for private parties, club events, graduation parties, Halloween parties, weddings, and 2000s or movie-themed celebrations where the goal is familiar singalong material with a broader decades-cover-band range.

UnderCover
UnderCover is a Seattle-Tacoma area cover band with 2000s material folded into a broader multi-decade party set. The Bash lists the group as covering hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s, so this is a better fit for a crowd that wants familiar Y2K-era radio mixed with older dance-floor staples than for a strict 2000s-only tribute.
Public sources do not list individual member names. The verified lineup description is still useful: three strong singers out front, vocal harmonies, and a rock-solid rhythm section. The Bash also notes associate musicians, including classical chamber ensembles of varying size, which gives the band more flexibility than a basic bar-band setup.
No verified song-title setlist was found. The safest read from the public sources is broad Top 40, funk, and party-cover range, with the band’s own bio naming Prince, Silk Sonic, and Lizzo as examples of artists they cover.
Onstage, UnderCover appears built around vocals, groove, and crowd movement. The band’s bio describes a genre-blurring approach shaped by musicians with backgrounds in funk, soul, opera, pop, and early music, while The Bash emphasizes harmonies and a sing-and-dance-along feel.
For credibility, The Bash says UnderCover members have performed in concert halls, clubs, and private events in the United States and abroad. The band’s own site has listed public dates at Edgewood Community Park and Rock the Dock in Tacoma, with Rock the Dock standing out as the clearest venue proof.
The available social proof is limited. The Bash profile shows Member Since 2025 and 1 Award or Badge, but no public star rating or review count was visible in the accessible sources.
Booking details are fairly practical for event planners. The Bash lists travel up to 200 miles, virtual services, and a starting rate of $300 per hour. The associate-musician note also makes UnderCover worth a closer look for events that may need more than a straight dance-band set.
Best fits include wedding receptions, private parties, clubs, community concerts, and 2000s themed celebrations where the crowd wants recognizable hits across decades rather than a narrow deep-cut tribute.

All4Doras
All4Doras are a Seattle tribute boy band built around the glossy, choreographed side of 90s and 2000s nostalgia. Their public identity centers on *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and throwback dance-party material, which makes them a natural fit for a Washington 2000s cover band list when the goal is more TRL-era pop spectacle than background music.
The public band page names Mikey H, Ryfo, and Mike Ish. Formal roles are not listed, so the safest way to frame the act is as a three-piece boy-band tribute and dance group rather than a traditional full-band lineup.
The verified song trail includes “Bye Bye Bye,” “It’s Gonna Be Me,” “Tearin’ Up My Heart,” “I Want It That Way,” “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” “Larger Than Life,” “Una Noche,” and “I Want You Back.” That points the set toward big choruses, synchronized moves, and crowd singalongs from the peak boy-band era.
The show is built around dance routines and nostalgia rather than stripped-down musicianship. Public listings often pair All4Doras with DJ Dance Dance for 90s/2000s party formats, which gives the act a club-floor feel that can stretch beyond a short tribute set.
All4Doras’ own band page says they have been performing since 2013, with sold-out shows across the Pacific Northwest and appearances with Aaron Carter, O-Town, Wanz, Ryan Cabrera, and Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC. Venue and event proof includes Ballard SeafoodFest, McMenamins Spanish Ballroom, Hidden Hall, Forum Social House, Nectar Lounge, El Corazon, and Kirkland Summerfest.
Their social proof is more visible on social platforms than on wedding-review sites. Instagram shows 2.6K+ followers, and Facebook search results report 3,256 likes, but no verified WeddingWire, The Knot, or Bandsintown rating surfaced.
For booking, the public contact page specifically invites inquiries for private events, dancing, and shows through Michael. Public sources do not list private-event set lengths, travel range, attire options, ceremony music, cocktail music, or production details.
Best-fit events include 2000s themed celebrations, 90s/2000s dance parties, festivals, club nights, private parties, fundraisers, class reunions, and nostalgia-driven corporate parties where the planner wants boy-band hooks and choreographed throwback energy.
