Biography:
Mischief Brew was an anarchist folk-punk band. A wicked concoction by Erik Petersen – a musical feast falling somewhere between the categories of pirate punk, Celtic folk, gypsy swing, devilish jazz, American olde-tyme and country. It’s good music to stomp, kick, pogo, jitterbug, waltz, drink, twist and shout to – whether the performance is solo acoustic or with a backing band of accordion, drums, and mandolin.
Erik started making music at a young age

Gather up ye pots and cans,

And keep the stick from hittin' skin

Until they're 'round the bend.

This is where the Salt are sharing spit and sweat and steam.

Against Prohibition.

Only catch is you can't post the time or place.

You got whisper codes on down the lane, it works better anyway.

So had to do it on the sly. This is your noise complaint.
