BIOGRAPHY
Hole was an alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1989 fronted by Courtney Love and co-founded by Eric Erlandson, and featuring Patty Schemel on drums and Melissa Auf der Maur on bass from 1994 until October 20, 1999; previous bassist Kristen Pfaff died of a heroin overdose in 1994. Other previous band members include drummer Caroline Rue and bassist Jill Emery.
Hole’s 1991 album, Pretty on the Inside, received praise from underground critics. After the success of Pretty on the Inside, Hole was signed to Geffen Records. Hole entered the studio to record their major label debut in 1993, the resulting album, Live Through This, included the hit singles Doll Parts, Violet, and Miss World.
Hole’s third album, Celebrity Skin, had a completely new sound for the band. Featuring a more “pop” sound, the album was a critical success with somewhat strong sales and successful singles. However rumours that many songs had been “ghost-written” by Billy Corgan, coupled with Love’s refusal to acknowledge the input of late husband Kurt Cobain on previous releases, fueled criticism of the “musical integrity” of Courtney’s work. Band members have changed frequently over the years; drummer Samantha Maloney was hired for the promotion and tour in support of Celebrity Skin after Schemel left the band for unspecified reasons. Actor Edward Norton, who was also Courtney Love’s boyfriend, played guitar with the band for a few gigs.
Hole was officially disbanded by Love via a message posted at the band’s website in 2002. After the split, the four musicians each took on projects of their own. Auf der Maur joined The Smashing Pumpkins and later recorded a solo album; Erlandson continued to work as a session musician; Maloney toured with Mötley Crüe, Scarling., Peaches, and Eagles of Death Metal; and Love began a solo career, releasing America’s Sweetheart in 2004.
