Slide 8 of The Multisexuality of Erasure, Part 2!
This is Part 2 of The Multisexuality of Erasure series, focusing on gender on stage! There are a couple of video posts that go with this part (after the last pic), so stay tuned!
Today, August 13, is International Left Handers Day! Did you know Vince Clarke is left-handed? Swipe to see some clippings and tweets where this fact comes up! According to the website for Left Handers Day, “Apart from the general creativity of left-handers, the left-handed brain is at the centre of both the sense of rhythm and the perception of pitch, which helps to explain why so many successful composers and musicians are left-handed.” Interestingly, Vince still plays the guitar right-handed.
Vince Clarke, describing his relationship with Andy Bell in Erasure:
"We have a very good relationship. We love each other. And when we work, it's like purely the art of writing songs, the craft of writing songs, and creating something that's new and original, hopefully. And it's always--ALWAYS inspirational. So it's been very good, and we've been lucky to find each other, I think."

It's time for my very first Erasure meme! I've also included the original meme - "love is stored in the cat" - along with a couple of quotes that demonstrate just how much love is stored in this band. Many thanks to my friend Sidurii (@my-name-is-siduri) for the drawing!
One of Erasure’s most striking album covers is the one for Chorus (1991). How did the concept come about, and what do the images represent? If you’d like to know the story, keep reading.
In this series, I’ll explore multisexuality in the work of Erasure. I’ll explain what multisexuality is, then use it as a framework to understand different parts of their art. This post will be about Erasure’s music. Swipe through to read the image version, and click here to read the text version (including transcriptions of all the clippings)!

In honour of both Black History Month and the UK’s LGBT+ History Month, let’s shine a spotlight on a key figure in Erasure’s brilliant stage shows - Les Child!
You may have thought the PSB vs. Erasure series was over - but there’s more! I collected some tidbits that either couldn’t fit in the original series, or that I’d found after the last post. So here’s part 5!
A gifset of Vince Clarke being incredibly happy while performing in Karlsson, Sweden, May 1, 1986. This was the first time in Clarke's career that he enjoyed performing live. In a 1985 interview in Melody Maker, he told journalist Kris Kirk, "I've never experienced pleasure in playing live before. … But there's nothing like playing non-stop dance music loud for feeling good. … And the other reason it's working for me is that I get on so well with Andy."
From the start, Erasure have been influenced by children’s media, and they’ve brought those influences into their art. However, in 1991-1992, this fascination would reach its peak, with the band creating several works influenced by various books, TV shows, and films they’d seen as children. Here are five such works from what I call Erasure’s “fairy era”. Click through to see them all.
We’ve arrived at the final post in the Pet Shop Boys/Erasure “rivalry” series. I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride!
This post examines Erasure's involvement in the Red, Hot & Blue project.
