Variously described as ‘Dada Cabaret’ and ‘Astonishingly vulgar’, the six members of the trio (sometimes eight) baffled audiences for a decade from their start in 1972 'til their breakup due to musical indifferences in 1982.

During their career they released three albums, quite a few singles and an EP on Stiff Records. Their stage show ‘Sleak – The Snuff Rock Musical’ was a record breaking hit in London’s West End, and they had their own nationally broadcast TV series – ‘Teach Yourself Gibberish’. Despite all this activity they remained dedicated to the various charity organizations that they selflessly worked for over the years. Beneficiaries included the National Brewers' Orphans Fund and the Home for Retired Tour Posters. 

In the Independent on 02 Sept 2005, the Berts were rememberred in the Cult Classics Corner by one Simon Hardeman
