Mischief formed in 1988 and peaked in 1990. Based in Wollongong, the band played in pubs and clubs up and down the East Coast and had a strong following. The band supported Angry Anderson, The Screaming Jets, Ted Mulry gang and Kevin Borich just to name a few. In 2015, the original 5 members reformed for a 25 Year Reunion Show. The show was a major success with punters wanting more. New original material has been written with more in the pipeline. It was like they had never been apart.
