Born in 1977 in Norway, Europe, Ergo B Bag was originally named “Erling Gronhaug” which in English translates to “Ernie Greenhill” or “the Duke”. This name became quite a restriction & by mid 2006 it had been lost forever.
Ergo, under his original name, had been almost literally chased out of Norway in the late 1990’s after an incident (which involved himself & two of the Swedish contestants from the Eurovision song contest) was blown way out of proportion – an incident which led to B Bag being described by one of Norway’s leading newspapers as, “…a despicable blemish on the face of Norwegian culture” & “… a mistake …”. B Bag denied having been involved at any level to warrant such an attack but no witnesses could be found to come forward in his defence & eventually the media storm around him began to affect his personal life.
In 1999 he fled to Australia. Following a string of lower medium level albums & tours under various names in various acts ‘down under’ he finally decided to break free of the “self imposed restrictions” he had been living under since his dramatic escape from his own country. With an open and brilliant mind he created a 14 piece Mega Party Band consisting of Sexy Dancers, Hot Singers, Loud Keyboards, Electric Guitars, Shiny Lycra & Awesome Ness!
Already after just 15 months ‘back on the scene’ Ergo has scored some major goals – receiving five nominations in the coveted ABC Newcastle Music Awards (2006 & 2007) and unleashing a stunning performance at the awards ceremony (“I didn’t know where to look” – Myf Warhurst, Triple J). He has a number of festival shows & major gigs already under his belt (Big Day Out 07 & 08, Surry Hills Festival 2007, Modular Party, Peats Ridge Festival, etc…) & enjoyed a complete sell out of the first run of his new album “Ergo B Bag & His All Action All Stars” at his debut performance. There is also a clear & visible emergence of a huge cult following in his own home town & others … home towns …
In short, Ergo B Bag is rocketing skyward!

Woah... what a P-A-R-T-Y!!! Your songs were just SO EPIC! I swear that CHEESE went for a whole lifetime, it was a journey man, seriously. The only thing missing was the the 24-minute-long-Jimmy-Page-Stairway-To_Heavenesque guitar solo. Your problem was that Calf was on sound, NOT ON LEAD GUITAR, that's where you went wrong!
Nonetheless, I feel somewhat disgraced that I dared to say that your performance could have had more, but I'm WRONG Ergo! OH, I AM SO VERY, VERY WRONG! You are a perfect specimen.
oh boo, i need ergo action (i mean i need to be able to listen to more than just 4 songs coming out of my computer) .... i also need some of the all stars experience, so spectacular! ... how can i access offline? x
ah, well, but of course you are awesome, i didnt even need to ask, but felt it impolite.
yes, well, camberwell market is all fine and dandy, except when men try to sell me navy hats for $55! outrageous. on to my issue now, thank you for your guidance. though the matter is still unjustified, i feel that you are certainly very considerate in providing a shoulder and possibly couch for said young woman. much gratifications. oh, what a long word, i think i need a bit of a lie down after that. anyway, i will further seek to find an answer. and yes, it is quite alright that in your mind you perceive desperately dis-acknowledged young women that happen to be lying alone on a footpath, naked. and i'm glad to hear that you didnt do it. well, i must away to a guitar lesson or some such. until next time. love ruby.
Stop taunting me with all these non-Melbourne gigs!
Get down here and mend these hearts you've broken. You just don't realise the power you have Mr Bag, and the weight of expectation that accompanies your expected appearances. x
hello there, ergo b bag, how are you then? seen any camberwell markets lately? i must say, i have. and also, trav. ha, rhymes. anyway, i need advice on this matter. if a young woman is being completely dis-acknowledged by what she thought was a close friend, should she take a walk to a friend of said "close friend"'s place, pretend she is under narcotical influences and then proceed to question and rave on about how said "close friend" hates her and therefore, she has no friends and starts rolling around on the foot path in a weeping mass. get back to me on that one. love ruby.
i am pegs adams. i think of b's and bags when i am in the sleeping. often in the dreams, there is the noble character. he is riding the horses, and fighting the wars. he is looking good in the sequin. when the floating is from far away, the ergo with pegs carry his washing downstairs. thank you very much tonight!
Are you serious about this sickness? If so...I'm shattered! Why didn't you post it as a blog...no one's gonna know unless they check the site otherwise.
that is so poo. we were all geared up to come with our posse & have been looking forward to it & talking it up to everyone for months. :( get well soon ergo.
yes, well, profound shit is generally what comes out of my fingers at the keys. well then, how goes it in the land of ergo b bag? and remember, the world is like an over-ripe fruit. (i cant remember the rest of it, though...) love ruby.
All those plays on the player, that was me playin funky boy over n over makin a PHAT remix/remake of it. I'll put it up on myspace if the Man allows ;) (gimme a week or 2 stil)..
ah yes, i have heard of you. your the one who mojo juju is not, and in fact, from an entirly different band. hello then! its lovely and wet here in melbourne town, the almost finnished townhouses flooded around the corner, the chook standing under the rosemary with her tail down. muddy shoes. bye bye. love ruby.
awww everyone likes to be flattered. just cause a friend likes to watch, doesn't mean he can't offer another friend a safe house to stay in. There's only one bedroom though sadly. And only one bed. And its a single bed. Also, its quite narrow.
