"Trouble & Mischief have merged the best of the worlds of electronic music and poetry to bring a musical and theatrical treat that's a little something for everyone. Suited to both intimate settings and festival dance tents, these guys give a performance that's intense and intelligent and hard for anyone to ignore. Tor and Ali have created something special that is not to be missed."
