Career

2gether started as a fictional concept in the 2000 MTV film 2gether: The Movie, a mockumentary parodying boy band formation amid the *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys craze, with actors cast into archetypal roles to satirize the genre’s manufactured image.

Evan Farmer’s Jerry O’Keefe emerged as the talented leader discovered at an open mic, while the others filled slots like the shy one and bad boy through auditions, blending humor with actual singing performed by the cast.

The film’s breakout song “U + Me = Us (Calculus)”—written by hitmakers like those behind Backstreet Boys—went viral on TRL, leading to a real soundtrack album release on Jive Records that peaked at No. 191 on the Billboard 200 but sold modestly with over 100,000 copies.

Early buzz came from MTV tie-ins, including fake news segments, turning the parody into a genuine act with live performances that highlighted their comedic edge.

The group transitioned to reality in mid-2000, signing with Jive and touring as openers for Britney Spears and Mandy Moore, where their satirical sets drew laughs and cheers from teen crowds expecting sincerity.

A spin-off sitcom 2gether: The Series premiered on MTV in August 2000, running two seasons and depicting band life in a shared house, with episodes featuring snippets from their second album 2gether: Again, released in November 2000 and peaking at No. 195 on the Billboard 200.

Singles like “The Hardest Part of Breaking Up (Is Getting Back Your Stuff)” charted at No. 87 on the Hot 100 and lingered on TRL, while “Awesum Luvr” fizzled out.

Their model relied on self-aware humor, with videos directed by Nigel Dick (of George Michael fame) exaggerating boy band tropes, fostering a cult following among viewers who appreciated the irony.

Key accomplishments included bridging parody and pop success, with the debut album earning gold status in some markets and the film drawing 3 million viewers, influencing later spoofs like The Lonely Island.

Growth involved TV cameos and soundtrack contributions, but tragedy struck when Cuccione died in January 2001 from cancer complications, halting the series mid-season and prompting disbandment by March 2001.

Surviving members pursued solos: Farmer in real estate and modeling, Farley in comedy films like White Chicks, Solowitz in TV like iCarly, and Bastian in indie projects before personal struggles.

Further into their brief run, 2gether navigated the blur between fiction and fame, performing at MTV awards and releasing B-sides that poked fun at industry excess, like “Rub One Out.”

Post-disbandment, occasional reunions surfaced— a 2011 announcement for an L.A. concert fizzled, and a 2012 plan never materialized—while their catalog gained nostalgic streams on Spotify, introducing ’00s kids to the satire.

Farley’s brotherly dynamic with Bastian added on-screen charm, but off-stage, the cast emphasized the project’s lighthearted intent amid Cuccione’s health battle.

As of September 2025, 2gether remains disbanded with no active projects, though surviving members occasionally reference the era in interviews or fan events; Bastian’s recovery from addiction remains private, while Farley and Solowitz focus on comedy gigs, and Farmer on business.

Recent nods include 2023 Billboard retrospectives and Reddit nostalgia threads, with their legacy as a clever foil to boy band mania enduring through over 50 million combined streams, inspiring modern parodies without diminishing the original’s witty charm.

Net Worth

2gether’s collective net worth is estimated at $1 million as of 2025, largely from the 2000 soundtrack album sales exceeding 100,000 copies, touring revenue with Britney Spears, and MTV royalties for the film and series that drew millions of viewers.

Individual contributions are small, with Kevin Farley at around $500,000 from comedy roles like White Chicks, Alex Solowitz at $300,000 via TV appearances, and Evan Farmer at $200,000 through modeling and real estate; the parody’s cult status sustains minor streaming income without major revivals or label support post-2001 disbandment.
