NEVERMIND

THE CLOSEST THING TO NIRVANA

We are Whatever Nevermind (formerly the Grunge Puppets), the ultimate Nirvana tribute band based in Chicago. We pay homage to one of the greatest bands of all time by capturing not only the sound but also the energy, power, and spirit of Nirvana during our live shows. There's no doubt we are the world's best Nirvana tribute band in Chicago.

Join us for an unforgettable live performance where we play both the MTV unplugged in New York album in its entirety and recreate the amped, electric live (and loud) shows. Of course, we play all of your favorite Nirvana hits from Nevermind, In Utero, and Bleach as well as deep cuts...Incesticide anyone? Our one-of-a-kind live performance engages fans of all ages and generations, making us a great choice for weddings, funerals, private events, birthday celebrations, fraternity parties, meat raffles, family reunions, corporate conferences, ice cream socials, shindigs, keggers, hootenannies, mixers, or any event that calls for live music.

What separates us from other cover bands is not just our good looks and pleasant personalities but also our ability to capture the essence of Nirvana's music. Our compelling stage persona and distinct Nirvana-sound resurrects the musical magic and nostalgia fans remember. Being a 4-piece band allows us to nail all the nuances created by Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear during Nirvana's studio and live performances.

Stay up to date with our upcoming shows and events by following us on Facebook and signing up for our email newsletter. We play throughout the Chicagoland area as well as the United States and Canada. Visit our bookings and contact page to have Whatever, Nevermind play at your show!

Come see us live and experience the closest thing to Nirvana. Get your ear plugs and grungiest flannel ready for an electrifying night of music.
