The Best Hits from the 90s!

How Rude! is Chicago’s premier 90’s tribute band, passionately delivering the soundtrack of a generation with high-energy performances and nostalgic flair. Drawing from the heyday of pop, grunge, and alt-rock, they recreate the sound and spirit of the 1990s in a way that both honors the original hits and infuses them with fresh energy. As the band puts it, “We bring you all the best 90’s hits. From pop to grunge, get ready for a night of sing-alongs and nostalgia!”

Fronted by dynamic guitarist and vocalist Gary Weissmann, with strong harmonies from bassist/vocalist Mark Weissmann, sharp guitar textures by Jake Bouquet, and driving rhythms from drummer/vocalist Tyler Kent, How Rude! brings a talented lineup to the stage. Each member contributes their own 90’s favorites to the setlist and shares personal throwback picks—like Gary’s “Semi‑Charmed Life,” Mark’s Oasis love, Jake’s hip-hop edge with Mobb Deep’s “Shook Ones,” and Tyler’s grunge anthem “Lithium” by Nirvana—all of which shape a diverse and well-curated show experience.

Since forming, How Rude! has taken their tribute across the Midwest, from Chicago clubs to regional festivals and casinos. They’ve established themselves as a go-to act for anyone looking to relive the iconic 90’s era—from intimate weddings and corporate events to packed bars and casino stages. Charting dates from Hard Rock Casino in Gary to venues across Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, their mission remains the same: to unite audiences in a celebration of sing-alongs, nostalgia, and pure fun.
