Eric Erlandson was born on January 9, 1963 in Los Angeles, California, and raised in nearby San Pedro. Erlandson attended Loyola Marymount University, and was working as a royalties manager for Capitol Records when he responded to an advertisement placed by Courtney Love in a local paper about wanting to start a band.Love and Erlandson established the band, named Hole, in 1989, and would go on to release three successful studio albums between 1991 and 1998. After their third release, the Grammy-nominated Celebrity Skin (1998), the band split up and Love and Erlandson parted ways. Erlandson continued working with other music projects, including Rodney & the Tube Tops with Thurston Moore, and later RRIICCEE and Vincent Gallo.He has also released several books of free-form poetry and artwork. In April 2012, the mid-'90s era lineup of Hole reunited for a brief performance in New York City in celebration of drummer Patty Schemel's documentary Hit So Hard (2011), which charted the band's 1994-1995 world tours through archived home video footage.

The most frustrating thing for me is that people view most female artists as this single person. The thing is, I know for a fact that we're more of a band, and we've always been more of a band. I don't want to be in a 'backing band,' and Courtney doesn't want that either. That's not the way we work. - July 1995 Show less «
