If you are reading this it is your personal responsibility to tell your friends about Ernie and the Berts. Should you choose not to do this, your favorite animal will lose a whisker, and that whisker will be found by some weirdo that will take that whisker and use it to paint warhammer minis. Do you want your animals whisker to be used to paint pewter toys? I didn’t think so. .. Ernie and the Berts are starting to record our debut record for the second time. If we get to 325 likes I will tell you what I intend to title this masterpiece. Tell your friends. Save the whiskers. Love each other. Don’t Do drugs. Bake a pie. Eat breakfast. Enjoy your life. Even if you paint warhammer figures with whiskers. Good night.

So, when Ernie and the Berts opened for the Real McKenzies at the Altar Bar, we were approached by Jamie & Blair of AZ Productions HD to do an interview. Why wouldn’t we? I mean we are rock stars, right? I believe this is our first video interview. We had a blast! They also got some live footage, and put together some nice shots for our performance of “Toybox” during the set that night. Check it out:
We’d really appreciate it (& I’m sure they would too) if you watch it & like it on YouTube (Also add it to your Ernie and the Berts playlist if you’d like. You have one …right?), share & like it on Facebook, share & +1 it on Google+, Tweet it & Re-Tweet it, pin it, share it on tumblr, blog it… show it to your mom on your cell phone. You know, do what you do.
Check out AZ Productions HD all over the internet:
You’ll note that the video has a shout-out to Turner’s for our sweet free Tea-shirts(sported by Bert & Bert)! We’d like to thank them for the hookup! Check them out on Facebook & Twitter too! Maybe someday we’ll get the Tea-Bird (or maybe the truck) to come to a show!

If you ever get photos or video at a show, please send it our way! We’re narcissists & we feed on it. Mmm… Media.
OK, for some reason Burt put the wrong times on the events that we set up. The doors open at 6:30pm and the show STARTS with Ernie and the Berts up first at 7:30pm! Then it’s on to our friends the Bloody Seamen & of course the Goddamn Gallows & The Real McKenzies.
Get there early! (Especially if you bought your tickets from us!)
Ernie has informed the Berts (and by extension all of you bad muppet fuzzers) that he will be raffling off his pants at the Real McKenzies show. That’s the pants directly off of his ass from the show that night. Maybe you’re hoping he brings extra pants. Maybe you’re hoping he doesn’t.
These may not be the actual pants that are being raffled off, but these are Ernie's pants.
Ernie has commanded that we the Berts autograph the pants along with him, and I bet we’ll personalize them too.
All you have to do to enter is to buy a physical ticket off of us. It will be your raffle ticket. That’s $12 for a show on Tuesday June 5th with the chance to win Ernie’s pants!
We got some press! Also at this show: The Cheats, The Botched, & Revenge Memorial. Email your pal Ernie to get a hold of some tickets for the show: ernie@ernieandtheberts.com
Okay, after spending yesterday talking about shows that I will never get a chance to see, it’s time for some updates for the local (Pittsburgh) area. If you live somewhere else, NOW YOU CAN SEE HOW IT FEELS!!, but also, hopefully you’ll learn about a couple bands that might tickle your fancy.
First of all, next Saturday (4 February 2012), “sleazy muppet rock” band Ernie and the Berts will be making their first live appearance of 2012 at Altar Bar in Pittsburgh’s Strip District area, as one of the opening acts for Greek-American Punks Barb Wire Dolls.
