Response from Trouble Ahead:
Thanks, Natalie! Always a pleasure...
I booked these guys as part of my Dead Fest earlier in April. From the moment they entered the building, they were extremely professional, really knew what they were doing as far as setting up and tearing down, and were really well accustomed to a hectic festival type show. Anyone who books this band will be absolutely impressed and glad they did.
