Career

Erlandson responded to a local classified ad newspaper run by Courtney Love in Recycler, 1989. Erlandson relates to the band's first rehearsal session, which featured original bassist Lisa Roberts.

This trio of Hole's first live performances included drummer Caroline Rue and third guitarist Mike Geisbrecht, and Roberts continued to love, Erlandson, and Roberts. In 1991, a new band with new bassist Jill Emery and without Geisbrecht released their debut album, Pretty on the Inside. Emery left the band in February and Rue, 1992, after achieving underground success in the United Kingdom. Hole's new members, Patty Schemel and Kristen Pfaff, signed a new label in 1992 and began touring and recording for their sophomore and major label debut, Live Through This. Hole's most commercially praised album to date, which Time magazine ranked it as one of the top 100 albums of all time, earned unanimous critical praise, and it is Hole's most well-received album to date.

Erlandson developed Rodney & the Tube Tops, a short-lived side project developed during Hole's absence in 1996, starring Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, various other artists, and DJ Rodney Bingenheimer. The project was shelved shortly after being announced "I Hate the '90's." He also co-produced "Milk Carton" by The Grown Ups, a raw riot of an album by a group of 14-year-old girls from Santa Monica, California.

In 1998, Hole released Celebrity Skin, their third studio album, with Erlandson co-producing the song. The album was more pop-oriented than their previous albums, and it was Hole's last work to include Erlandson. On 1999, auf der Maur left the group to pursue other musical ventures, and Hole disbanded Hole on May 22, 2002, noting that they will "no longer record or tour together."

Erlandson contributed to Melissa Auf der Maur's debut solo album Auf der Maur's debut solo album "Would If I Could" after Hole's disbandment. He toured with Bill Bartell's band, White Flag, and performed two shows with a group including singer/songwriter John Wolfington and drummer Blackie Onassis from Urge Overkill.

Erlandson founded RRIICCEE in 2007 with Corey Lee Granet and Vincent Gallo. Between 2007 and 2008, the band toured the United States and Canada, and they appeared at the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan before dissolving.

Love revealed in 2009 that her forthcoming solo album, Nobody's Daughter, was being released under the name Hole, and that the band's reunion, which included Love's guitarist Micko Larkin replacing Erlandson, was among the group's reunion. On the first reaction, Aufder Maur was the first to respond, calling it "jeopardis[ing] a true Hole reunion." Erlandson and Love "have a deal" that was later revealed to be a deal that barred either from reforming Hole without mutual involvement. Erlandson discussed how "[Courtney's] operation convinced me that this was all hot air and that she would never be able to finish her album in a later interview, just days before the release of Hole's Nobody's Daughter. Now I'm in an uncomfortable situation." Neither Love nor Erlandson have commented on the reunion. In 2010, he announced that he has "new musical projects in the works."

Courtney Love of Erlandson, bassist Melissa Auf der Maur, and drummer Patty Schemel appeared at the inaugural party of Schemel's documentary entitled Hit So Hard in April 2012. The band performed two songs on the evening, "Miss World" from the band's hit album Live Through This and a version of The Wipers' "Over the Edge."

Love rehearsing new material with Erlandson, Schemel, and Auf der Maur, as a reunion of the band's 1994 lineup was planned in April 2014.

In May 2019, Love announced that all the members are now "talking about it" in reference to reuniting and reforming the band. Love performed a since-deleted snapshot of the group together in Los Angeles, rehearsing songs.
