Erase Errata was a band from

San Francisco, California.[1]

History

Erase Errata formed in Oakland, California, in 1999, and quickly earned national attention after the release of their first eponymous 7-inch single, and via tours with electro-

Melt Banana.[2]

They released their highly acclaimed debut album

Troubleman Unlimited
label.

After founding guitarist Sara Jaffe left Erase Errata in 2004, singer Jenny Hoyston switched to guitar, and the group briefly drafted a vocalist named Archie McKay.[3] 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, which was hailed as “a high watermark for political punk music seeking to complicate the function of entertainment and give it an agenda for this century.”[4]

The band then released what proved to be their final album, Lost Weekend, on Under the Sun records in 2015.[5] The band broke up amicably after playing two final concerts in Austin, Texas, in October 2015.[6][7]
