Faithfully Recreating the Biggest Hits of Music's Last Truly Great Era

Rustbucket is Milwaukee's longest-running grunge and alt-rock tribute band, kicking out the top tracks of the alternative age...live, lit up and loud.  

Increasingly imitated (but never duplicated), we're the area's premier '90s rock revue — accept no substitutes! The approach is simple: we play the biggest bangers from the buzz bin, and do them authentic justice just as faithfully as fans remember them. That means the guitar tones are dialed in. The drums are note-for-note. And the vocals range from Eddie Vedder's defiant growl, to Layne Staley's plaintive wail, to Chris Cornell's soaring screams...and everything in between. 

So come ready to experience timeless tunes from bands like Alice In Chains, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, 311, Nine Inch Nails, Toadies, Rage Against the Machine, Incubus, Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots, Queens of the Stone Age, Collective Soul, Cracker, Blind Melon, Candlebox, The Offspring, Dinosaur Jr., Gin Blossoms, Beastie Boys, Fuel, Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, +Līve+, Radiohead, Linkin Park, White Zombie, Weezer, Faith No More, Everclear, Tool, Silverchair, System Of a Down, Jane's Addiction, Limp Bizkit, and many more.

A Rustbucket show is a high-energy, full-volume hómage to the hugest hits, most legendary artists and unparalleled variety of terrestrial alt-rock radio, all played just the way you want to hear 'em. We'd love to see you rocking out with us sometime soon.
