FOUNDER / LEAD GUITARIST / POINT OF CONTACT
Based in Costa Mesa, CA, SEGA 90s is a world-class professional touring band delivering a high-energy live concert experience for weddings and private events. Often performing in Los Angeles and Orange County, California, we specialize in 90s and Y2K hits spanning pop, rock, hip hop, and dance music. All performances are 100 percent live with no backing tracks.
SEGA 90s is not a typical wedding band. We are a true working band that has maintained weekly Friday night residencies at some of Southern California’s most notable venues since 2010. With more than 15 years of experience performing throughout the United States and internationally, we bring consistency, chemistry, and professionalism you can rely on for a five-star wedding celebration.
Many wedding entertainment agencies sell a band name but staff events with rotating freelance musicians who may be playing together for the first time. SEGA 90s is a locked-in band that has performed together for over a decade. Our chemistry and timing come from thousands of hours on stage as a real touring unit, not a pickup group.
Our band members are industry veterans who have:
- Performed on The Late Late Show with James Corden
- Toured with major artists including Noah Kahan and Silversun Pickups
- Performed at major festivals such as Austin City Limits and BeachLife Festival
- Toured across North America, Europe, and the Middle East
- Played sold-out arenas as backing musicians for global artists
- Been featured in national campaigns for Fender and Ernie Ball
SEGA 90s is a trusted choice for high-profile weddings, private events, and corporate celebrations. Wedding clients include Stephanie Beatriz, Ryan Cabrera, and WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss.
We have shared the stage with:
- Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick of NSYNC
- Tré Cool of Green Day
- Ryan Key of Yellowcard
- Jaret Reddick of Bowling for Soup
- Nicholas Petricca of Walk the Moon
- Montell Jordan, Derek Hough, and Dennis Rodman
We have also entertained at private events for:
- Olympians Shaun White and Michael Phelps
- Lance Bass and 5 Seconds of Summer
- Nina Dobrev and Audrina Patridge
- Corporate clients including Amazon Web Services, Hurley, and TOMS
Every SEGA 90s performance features live instruments and live vocals with zero backing tracks, creating an authentic and high-energy atmosphere throughout the event.
While best known for 90s and Y2K nostalgia, we also perform country, classic rock, pop, and wedding standards for guests of all ages, and have headlined sold-out Taylor Swift Eras events.
SEGA 90s provides tour-grade professional sound and lighting systems, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience from setup to the final song.
From Eminem to Shania Twain and from the Spice Girls to System of a Down, SEGA 90s delivers a curated set of hits designed to keep guests dancing all night.

Spencer Askin
Founder / Lead Guitarist / Point of Contact
I am the lead vocalist and guitarist for SEGA Genecide and your sole point of contact from day one. We joined WeddingPro to bring a legitimate, tour-grade concert experience to the wedding world—no agencies, no rotating rosters, and no corporate fluff.
My career spans 20 years and over 1,000 performances. I’ve played iconic arenas like the Kia Forum (LA) and Scotiabank Arena (Toronto) and performed with artists ranging from Ebi to members of the multi-Grammy-winning band Train. Beyond the stage, I’m an educator with a social reach of over 70,000 via my channel Shreducation and have been featured in national campaigns for brands like Fender.
We specialize in high-stakes events, having played for clients like Amazon, The Michael Phelps Foundation, and celebrity weddings for Shaun White and Stephanie Beatriz. Outside of the wedding world, we are active recording artists; our original music (The Gromble) has earned over 10 million streams. This background gives us a deep understanding of studio-quality sound that we bring to every live performance. I personally oversee every contract and timeline detail to ensure the energy is high and the vibes are authentic. You aren't booking a generic agency; you’re working directly with the band.

We hired Sega Genecide (now Sega 90s) for our backyard wedding in Riverside, and honestly, they made the entire night. We had a pretty intimate setup — the ceremony and reception w...
ere at my parents' house — so we needed a band that could bring real energy without feeling like they were playing a stadium. These guys nailed it. They were tight, professional, and sounded incredible from the first song to the last.
Every 90s and 2000s hit they played was spot on. Not "close enough for a cover band" — actually perfect. They read the room, kept people dancing, and had this effortless energy that made the whole backyard feel electric. But the moment nobody will ever forget was when they closed the night with Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine. That is not a song you expect at a wedding, and that's exactly why it was perfect. The place absolutely erupted. We still have friends and family bringing it up. If you're looking for a band that sounds amazing and will give your guests a night they'll actually talk about for years, book these guys immediately.

We discovered Sega when frequenting the local nightlife in our city and were blown away by them. I inquired to see if they play weddings, and sure enough, they do! They were always...
courteous and professional with our communications and accommodating with specific requests.
They were the highlight of our wedding, and really turned the event into a party that evening. They saved the day when there were technical difficulties with the venue's sound system for our first dance songs. They quickly jumped in and routed the music to their own sound system! Thank you for doing that, guys!
They are an amazing band who are friendly, approachable, and professional. If you want to make your wedding unforgettable, hire Sega!

Sega Genocide is one of the most fun bands we’ve hired for any occasion. As musicians, they have great versatility and can keep diversified crowds entertained. At our wedding, they...
went from acoustic country for our first dance and ended with Free Bird, Blink 182 and everything in between - Grandma approved. Spencer was professional and timely, offering suggestions and guidance where we needed it.
We have since attending a wedding since ours where Sega was hired. A more formal East Coast vibes beach wedding and they once again filled the part and provided a great experience for all. They learned a few new songs at the bride’s request and killed it.
Both weddings they MC’d the night and set up all the sound throughout the venue. I highly recommend Sega Genocide for your wedding or upcoming party.

It was back in I believe 2019 that I first saw Sega Genecide live. It was such a fun, kinetic atmosphere as I hadn't seen any other band tackle late 90's/early 00's hits. The show ...
was electric and I found myself introducing more and more friends to them. "Have you been to 90's night?" would lead me to bringing countless friends who had their own new stories to tell.
So when I met my then girlfriend, now wife, I absolutely KNEW the band we HAD to get for our wedding. I introduced her to the music and show and she was absolutely ecstatic and immediately jumped on board with the idea. So with that settled we met up with Spencer after one of his shows and connected. We did want to do our do diligence and researched other bands similar to Sega. After that search, we knew fully that we wanted them. Spencer was very kind and easy to work with and we locked in a price that we could afford.
The wedding was in Downtown Long Beach and the band showed up punctually and professionally and played two amazing sets. They let us know that they knew what was best in terms of the set list to make sure the vibes were high. We both agreed to this as we were both familiar with their set lists from their shows. Our only ask was that the second set was more harder rock which my wife and I love more. They were more than accommodating and it led to some of the coolest moments of the evening.
In the weeks after the wedding, we still get friends and guests that come up to us raving about how awesome and personal our wedding was and how phenomenal the choice of band was. I highly recommend Sega Genecide if you want the best band ever to play your wedding.

We hired Sega for our wedding at Sherman Gardens in Corona del Mar, and they were incredible from start to finish. Throughout the entire planning process, Spencer was consistently ...
attentive and proactive with communication — even with my many emails!
They not only delivered an amazing reception, but also supported our ceremony beautifully. They learned acoustic versions of several songs I requested and played music beforehand to keep guests relaxed and happy as they arrived.
Sega brought such a unique and memorable energy to our wedding — a refreshing break from the typical, overplayed wedding playlist. I would hire them again in a heartbeat for any special event. Highly recommend!

ish list for the songs. Our wedding was somewhat of a destination event, since it was on Catalina Island. They worked hand in hand with our team, arranging for the travel for them and their gear. They appealed to all of our guests, from our 80+ year old family members to the littles. Our wedding was in 2019 and we still get compliments ALL THE TIME about Sega. We still go to see them regularly to this day. Don't miss out on Sega!

harisma. Every generation was on the dance floor, singing along like it was 1999.
They were polished, professional, and clearly having just as much fun as we were, which made the whole night feel electric. So many of our guests came up to us afterward to say it was the best wedding band they’d ever seen—and we couldn’t agree more.
If you want a band that delivers flawless covers, keeps the party going all night, and turns your event into an unforgettable experience, this is the one. They didn’t just play our wedding—they made it.

Best decision we made for our wedding. So worth it. We've been going to Sega shows at the Wayfair for years and immediately knew we needed to book them for our reception. The danc...
e floor was insane the whole night. Four months later and everyone is still telling us how this was the most lit wedding they've ever been to. It's like having a private concert with only your besties. We're the 4th couple in our friend group to have Sega for our wedding band because truly there's nothing better. They're different every single time we see them. I know I'm supposed to say my husband I's first kiss was the best part of our wedding or whatever, but let's be honest, it was when sega played pink pony club. Half of our guests had no voice for a week after this. Sega is amazing, I'm never going to be able to shut up about this.

ears and we had moved out of state but Sega still made that dream come true!! They truly made our wedding so special and fun. Their energy is electric and everyone was dancing all night. They’re not like a normal wedding band, they’re WAY better and will make your reception feel like a concert. I cannot recommend them enough!

d Sega is the reason why. They truly made it a party. They had the crowd up and moving, while also setting the perfect mood for every speech, dance, and special moment throughout the night.
They were incredibly easy to work with and even learned a couple of custom songs we requested, which was such a cool and unexpected surprise. We’ve seen them perform many times both before and after our wedding, and I can honestly say not only are they great guys, but they’re also some of the hardest-working musicians out there.
I can’t recommend Sega highly enough for any event.

r a full wedding package, which includes all the mics and speakers you need for the ceremony, and MC for the night. These guys are professional musicians that will make your wedding or any event you are having unforgettable. No really, we have relatives from the east coast still talking about how great our band was. Make sure they start with "My Own Worst Enemy by Lit"!!! You won't regret it.

age guest was on the dance floor from 3-75. My husband and I danced the entire night. In addition to being an amazing band, they were very responsive during the planning stages, their equipment is stellar, and they MC’d and played music while not preforming. The band is the number 1 compliment I get from people who attended our wedding.
Hire them! You won’t regret it!
