Saturday, Saturday, Saturday! (12/17/2011)

Posted on December 15, 2011 by | Leave a comment

This weekend, we shall party with friends at one of our favorite hang-outs, The Fallout Shelter in Aliquippa PA.  Aliquippa isn’t too far from our home base in the ‘Burgh, so you should come out & join us.  Some are calling this a Christmas party.  Some are calling this Cliffy’s birthday party.  We’re calling it a damn good punk rock show.

The Fallout Shelter is a fun place to chill, get some cheap brews, some tasty food, hang out with friends, and make some new ones.  It’s quite cozy.

The Atomic Drops will do exactly that… sonically drop on you with the weight of an atomic bomb.  Boom!  You’ll wonder what happened.  You will have been rocked, that’s what.

Ernie and the Berts are always ready to show you that talent is not an obstacle to the meager success of a rock n’ roll band.  We’ll show you the secret if you promise to not behave.

The Scratch n’ Sniffs will come at you like a punk rock spider monkey, and make you beg for more.  With pure punk energy & style, they’ll make you tap your feet while checking to see if you still have your wallet.

Crisis in America might start a political rally, or rile us all to descend into anarchy or maybe even give us a solid plan to reform welfare.  You won’t even notice the knowledge being passed to you, as you’ll be too busy being rocked out by them.

A punk rock show to melt your face.

Posted on November 29, 2011 by | 2 Comments

Insanity. Chaos. Deafening yet hooky melodies. Beer.  If these all seem like good things to you, you need to be at this show.  Add this to your Google calendar, Yahoo! Calendar, Facebook Events, or whatever you do with Google+ or AOL or MSN or Compuserve or Outlook or whatever you’re using.  Tweet about it.  Get a car full of idiots and find a non-idiot DD.

Ernie would like to remind you to drink responsibly, tip your bartender, buy some of the various bands’ merchandise, and to wash your hands before returning to work or play.

Get the flyer below tattooed on someone’s ass that you see frequently, so you don’t forget.

Sun.08/14 @ The Fallout Shelter – Ernie and the Berts/Hopeless Otis/The Awful Waffles – $5/21+/9:00pm

Posted on July 28, 2011 by | 4 Comments

Beat the heat, not your meat!  Hang out in the cool relaxing not-humid soothing basement of Sheffield Lanes… a little place we like to call the Fallout Shelter.  Well, they called it that, so that’s why we call it that.  We didn’t name it.  Although, it is a pretty good name.  For some reason, they like us there, and keep letting us come back.  Randy just may be a little insane.  That’s OK, I think we are too.  At any rate, they have good drinks, some nice food from Ricky Dee’s upstairs, and a quaint little atmosphere.  Until we start playing that is.  When we start playing, you belong to us.  You can’t escape.  We’ll see you, and call you out if you try to leave.  We might even follow you.  The last thing you want is an Ernie or a Bert on your trail.  We might even have a new song or two.  Ernie’s been prolific and productive lately, and is whipping the Berts into shape.  Hopeless Otis is from New York City and they’ll show us how they do it up there.  The Awful Waffles will sing about Han Solo, and they might even have a keyboard.

ICEE you want to come to the show!

Geurilla Showfare…

Posted on July 18, 2011 by | 2 Comments

So,this Tuesday night, … that’s tomorrow, July 19th, 2011…  I think we’re playing at the Fallout Shelter with Vagora, Birds In Paintings Can’t Fly, and maybe even Children of October.  We’re certainly the odd men out… but when aren’t we?

We made nice-nice with Vagora many moons ago when we played what I think was our first “real” gig at the Fallout Shelter.  I’d maybe call Vagora horrorpunk, but they call themselves “melodic pop punk/post rock/alternative/grunge/post-hardcore/shoegaze”. Welcome to the “it’s really hard to classify our band” club.  Ha ha.  They have a cool spooky sound, some Johnny Cash-like black clothes, and they’re all really friggin’ nice dudes.

I (Bert… or the other Bert) pretty much dropped off the planet this past week, so I’m piecing together what I’ve been fed…

Ernie has been in contact with Vagora, and our presence has been requested.

This is what it says on the Fallout Shelter website…

TUESDAY, JULY 19

• $5 – Doors at 8:30 – Show at 9PM
• 21+ – The Fallout Shelter
• VAGORA
• Birds in Paintings Can’t Fly
• Children of October

Not sure if we’re all playing, or if CoO had to bail, or what… but good bet that the show time is 9:00pm, we play early, and the two Rhode Island bands will be in house… and that it’s a 21+ show.

You should come out to this and have a good time, even though it’s a “school night”.  Hey, it’s summer, right?

Also, don’t forget… Friday Night at the BBT with The Awful Waffles & Uke and Tuba!

ALL AGES! This Friday! Friday! Friday!

Posted on June 28, 2011 by | 1 Comment

Hey hey hey!  Got the schedule for the show Friday, looks like we’re upstairs in the lanes… which means we’re ALL AGES!  For all the details check out the original post, but the schedule’s right here:

Doors open at 7:00 pm

Upstairs, All Ages: (7:30pm – 1:50am)

  1. 7:30-8:00 – Reel-a-Peel
  2. 8:10-8:40 – Big Ginge and the Nobodies
  3. 8:50-9:10 – The Straits
  4. 9:20-9:50 – Ernie and the Berts
  5. 10:00-10:30 – Scattergun
  6. 10:40-11:10 – Fullmoon Renegades
  7. 11:20-11:50 – Undercover Saints
  8. 12:00-12:30 – Northern Beaches
  9. 12:40-1:10 – Crisis In America
  10. 1:20-1:50 – Bi-Polar Monkey Puppets

Downstairs, 21+: (10:30pm – 1:00am)

  1. 10:30-11:00 – The Scratch ‘n’ Sniffs
  2. 11:10-11:40 – OTiS
  3. 11:50-12:20 – Dr. Ruin
  4. 12:30-1:00 – Brass Chariot

This will be our first all ages show, and we probably won’t be playing them often.  If you’re under 21, you need to be there!  Maybe grab a bite from Ricky Dee’s or check out the bands downstairs if you’re old enough.  I doubt you’ll ever catch Ernie and the Berts, the Undercover Saints, Reel-A-Peel, Scattergun, Fullmoon Renegades, & The Straits – ALL at an one all-ages show ever again!

Punk Rock Celebration at the Fallout Shelter! Fri. 07/01/2011

Posted on June 25, 2011 by | 3 Comments

Holy crap, this is a lot of bands.  It kind of snuck up on us.  We had talked to Randy a while ago about being part of some punk rock chaos at the Fallout Shelter.  This is it.  It’s insane.  Bands playing upstairs will be ALL AGES, bands playing downstairs will be 21+.  We’ll let you know which one we are, and which one the other cats are as soon as possible.

Looks like STS Productions is putting this one together.  Check out all the links below, I tried to gather all that I could.  If anyone has any that I missed, let me know!

I didn't make this - not sure who did. I stole it though.
