Erase Errata are four riot-grrrrls from San Francisco who harken back to the disco-punk of the new wave (Pop Group,
Contortions,
Gang Of Four).
Other Animals (Troubleman, 2001) showcases
hysterical vocals (Jenny Hoyston), dissonant guitar (Sara Jaffe), stormy trumpet and keyboards, torrential rhythms (bassist Ellie Erickson and drummer Bianca Sparta) on numbers such as
Delivery, Other Animals Are #1, High Society, Fault List, C Rex.
The girls seize the momentum to spin around the formidable grooves of
Marathon, Tongue Tied, Billy Mummy, French Canadia,
Dexterity Is #2.
At Crystal Palace (Troubleman, 2003) is a less original work that
reprises the same (derivative) idea and applies it convincingly only to
Let's be Active c/o Club Hott,
Harvester and Driving Test.
Erase Errata's singer Jenny Hoyston also released the experimental
mini-album Lines Are Infinitely Fine (Dim Mak, 2003) under the moniker
Paradise Island.
Isle Of (2007) was her first full-length.
Erase Errata's Nightlife (Kill Rock Stars, 2006), the first album
without guitarist Sara Jaffe, was unique in the way it channeled
danceable punk-rock into irregular and sometimes plain hysterical structures
of dissonant post-punk bands such as
the Pop Group and
DNA
(the propulsive Cruisin', the catchy Another Genius Idea From Our Government, the pseudo-gothic crescendo of
Hotel Suicide),
while attaining a kind of unsettling and disorienting ambience in Hotel Suicide.
Sara Jaffe debuted solo with the EP Salt And Water (2006), featuring
only
Tara Jane O'Neil on other instruments.

Le Erase Errata sono quattro riot-grrrls di San Francisco che tornano alle derive disco-punk
della new wave (Pop Group,Contortions,Gang Of Four).
Other Animals (Troubleman, 2001) mostra vocalizzi isterici (Jenny Hoyston), chitarre dissonanti
(Sara Jaffe), tastiere e trombe agitate, ritmi torrenziali (la bassista Ellie Erickson e la batterista
Bianca Sparta) in episodi come Delivery, Other Animals Are #1, High Society,
Fault List, C Rex.
Le ragazze sfruttano l'impeto per far girare i formidabili grooves di
Marathon, Tongue Tied, Billy Mummy, French Canadian,
Dexterity Is #2.
At Crystal Palace (Troubleman, 2003) e' un lavoro meno originale che
riprende la stessa (derivativa) idea e la applica convincentemente solo in
Let's be Active c/o Club Hott,Harvester e Driving Test.
La cantante delle Erase Errata Jenny Hoyston, ha pubblicato anche il mini-album
sperimentale Lines Are Infinitely Fine (Dim Mak, 2003) sotto lo pseudonimo
Paradise Island.
