Biography
YBand is an amateur band formed by co-workers at YDreams. We gradually became aware that some (a lot!) of us manage to do a chord or two, or sings in the shower without being sued by the neighbours, and got together to make something of it in our spare time.
For YDreams' 2006 Christmas Party, we managed to rehearse 4 songs. After dinner, in the same stage where a professional band had been playing during the meal, we surprised the whole company with our flash debut. The reaction was so good that we started playing in every major party our company throws.
YDreams has just moved to a brand new building, and now we even have a place to rehearse for free in our own headquarters. No more driving 30 miles to rehearse from 23:00 until 02:00...

Setlist
Keeps changing. We try never to repeat the same song each time we play - this is necessary in order to attend to the variety inherent to different preferences between 31 members. So, the song list is: there is no song list.
