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!
