Erase Errata is a band from San Francisco, California. Although they are a contemporary band, their music is often associated with the post-punk movement.

They often name experimentalists such as Captain Beefheart, The Fall, and The Minutemen as inspirations. The group favors improvisation as a compositional tool, and band members have claimed that they could improvise a whole set if they wanted to.

[edit] History

Erase Errata formed in 1999 and quickly earned national attention via tours with electro grrl band Le Tigre and Japanese noise rockers Melt Banana. They released their highly acclaimed debut album Other Animals in 2001, followed by At Crystal Palace in 2003, both on the Troubleman Unlimited label.

After founding guitarist Sara Jaffe left Erase Errata in 2004, singer Jenny Hoyston switched to guitar and the group drafted a male vocalist named Archie McKay, a move that alienated many fans. The group eventually settled on a three-piece lineup, with Hoyston handling both guitar and vocal duties, and joined the Kill Rock Stars roster for the 2006 album Nightlife.
