2gether (usually stylized as 2ge+her, 2Ge+Her or 2GE+HER; pronounced "Together") was a fictional American boy band whose composition, songs, and formation story are a satirical approach to the boy band fad trend of the late 1990s and early 2000s such as New Kids on the Block, 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys. They were part of a self-titled MTV TV movie and spin-off television series.
The band, TV movie, and TV series were created by writers Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn (two cousins), who also wrote many of their songs. The band ended after member Michael Cuccione died of respiratory failure, stemming from a long struggle with Hodgkin lymphoma.
Members
Each member was "drafted" into the band to fill a particular niche or market to a particular group.
- Jerry O'Keefe – "The Heartthrob" (Evan Farmer)
- Chad Linus – "The Shy One" (Noah Bastian) and spent several days on MTV's Total Request Live. "Awesum Luvr" was also released, but failed to chart.
In January 2001, Michael Cuccione died, and the remaining cast and crew decided not to go on without him.
Possible reunion
In early November 2011, the surviving members of 2gether announced they hoped to reunite for a concert in Los Angeles.
