Ernesty International was founded by Ernst Tiefenthaler
in November 2007 when he recorded a couple of songs in the house where
his grandparents had lived and where he had spent many summers as a
child.
In 2009 the first album “Ernesty International” was released on the
small Styrian label pumpkin records, followed in 2010 by “It could be
the Sun, Mr. President”, and in 2011 by “Not a Ship an Aeroplane” - the
first album of the newly founded label EMG (Ernesty Music Group).
In November 2012, exactly 5 years after the first click on the record button, EMG publishes “Ernesty IV.”.
For the live presentation of the Ernesty songs Ernst Tiefenthaler
assembled a band including members of Bell Etage and Hotel Prestige,
plus the Swiss singer and bass player Eloui who did harmony vocals on
all four Ernesty CDs and is a co-founder of EMG.
Ernesty International is a non-governmental, non-profit organization
whose aim is - by means of music - to fight global and individual
indifference, self-delusion, manipulation, lifelessness, communication
disability, misanthropy and solitude.
