We’ll be rocking with the shockingly scandalous Steel City Slingers and whoever’s brave enough to step up to the plate! Here are the details so far, with an incredible flyer by the Slingers’ own Zach.

FRIDAY THE 13TH!

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.

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.

Howdy, friends! One week from tonight we’re going to require your attendance at the P!$$ ON CANCER benefit show. It’s not only an ALL AGES show, it’s packed full of bands from a potpourri of musical genres, and your money is going to help pay some medical bills of a currently anonymous benefactor. Obviously we’re all about such things. This is why your attendance is not requested, my friends… it’s required.
Use your mad geek detective skills to help everyone figure out what songs we’ve been recording.
We need a name for the fans. The Misfits have Fiends, the Grateful Dead have Dead Heads, what should we call you people? Ernienians? Bertians? Pigeons? Bottle Caps? Rubber Ducks? Duckies? The Unibrows?

We have a show coming up that you ought to make an extra effort to attend. We don’t do many all ages gigs, so this may be your only chance for a while.
This formerly had a slightly more impolite name, but it has been toned down a little bit: P!$$ ON CANCER: A Musical Collaboration to fight for a friend’s life!
A friend of Bert’s has set up the show, and it looks to be (the good kind of) chaos. Disgust in Disguise are a bunch of cool cats and it looks like there’s a really diverse set of musical genres happening, as well as a silent auction and some food & drink specials.
We’re asking you to come out, support a good cause, listen to some music, eat, drink, & be merry. Please don’t literally pee on anything or anyone. (This means you, Brad.)
Here are the details in case you missed ‘em!
When your body is your enemy, how would you choose to fight?
Join us as we take a stand against a friend’s cancer.
Help us fight his silent war.
