Mischief Brew

Band Info

Emerging from the undead ashes of PA punk troupe The Orphans, Mischief Brew started with a scratchy demo tape in 2000 and has since spread the good word of anarchy, hilarity, and rebellion across state lines and even the Atlantic Ocean a few times. They managed to exist for over 15 years in one form or another by kissing nobody’s ass and doing everything ourselves, for the most part. No rules!

Erik Peterson sadly passed away on July 10th, 2017. He was survived by his wife Denise as well as their treasured pugs, which adorned many Mischief Brew items. The band’s final show was on July 8th, 2017, with Culture Shock and World/Inferno Friendship Society.
