Erasure's first three singles did not as well as had been hoped after they were released. They received some recognition in some European countries, but it wasn't until the release of "Sometimes" that they had any acknowledgement they deserved.
The duo first got attention for their music with their debut single "Who Needs Love Like That", following on from their fourth single release of "Sometimes".
Together they became hugely successful in the mid 1990s and made it to the UK Singles Chart.They received 24 Top 40 hits in the UK in a row, as well as 3 Top 20 hits in the US. These included their songs "A Little Respect", "Chains of Love" and "Always".
Erasure have sold over 25 million albums internationally and are very well known within the LGBT community, as singer Andy Bell has become some what of a gay icon over the years.
In 2009 a collection of Erasure's first 40 hits along with a remix of the "Always" single by Jeremy Wheatley was released. Later on the same year they released an album of their classic remixes called "Erasure Club".
In May 2014, the duo announced their 16th studio album was due to be released, named "The Violent Flame". It gave them their first Top 20 album since the release of "Other People's Songs" in 2003.

It is hard for me to write an unbiased review of Erasure "live". As I love the group so much. And have done so for MANY years (nearly 30 now!) BUT, they have done numerous tracks, over those years, that I have not been too fond of. So, I think I still have my head (and ears) screwed on, in regards to not being "blinded" by LOVE for a group. So ..... Erasure "live" = FANTASTIC!! The songs everyone knows are all there "A little respect", "Stop!", "Chains of love" etc. Along with new ones "Elevation", "Reason" and "Sacred". The underlying theme of the show would, imo, be DANCE. Erasure want you to get up and dance. Many of the old tracks were presented in remix form or new/updated dance versions. And there wasn't a single one that I thought sounded out of place. At the end of the show everyone, who could, was up and dancing. Andy quips between songs were as fun/daft as usual. And it was a brilliant performance all round. From Andy and Vince. As well as Valerie and Emma (backing singers). This is a show I would take ANYONE to. And recommend to EVERYONE. It's fun. It's singalong. It's dancealong. It puts a smile on your face and makes you feel good for a couple of hours. Who could ask for more? Certainly not me :)

80s English pop-rock staples Erasure are still performing live shows for fans both old and new. Frontman Andy Bell's vocal range still packs a powerful punch, hitting and sustaining all the high notes. In addition to still sounding amazing, Bell and music partner Vince Clarke both look fit in appearance and ready to rock. Andy Bell is known to switch things up even more by wearing short shorts, high heels, or dresses during his stage performances. These antics draw cheers from the crowd, and more impressively do not distract from the main focus- the music.
Fans cheer when they hear familiar songs, and sing along. It's clear that Erasure still can captivate and enchant their audience. Fans consistently clap and scream after each song, particularly known hits such as "A Little Respect", "O L'Amour", and "Chains of Love". Even newer songs, such as 2010s "Always" perk up fans' ears and prove that Erasure is a band that does not just live off their past. They are just as relevant, catchy, and powerful in the 2000s as they were in the 1980s.
Andy and Vince were in fine form for their final stop of their North American 2014 tour showcasing their newest album, The Violet Flame. The opening act Superhumanoids songs were enjoyable, if short, and put us in a good mood for the main act. These two guys have given me more consistent pleasure over more than 30 years than any of my lovers. I adore the intricacies of Vince's rhythms and harmonies and that oh so welcome preponderance of major chords, and floor rumbling bass notes. We were on our feet dancing for at least half the concert, even Andy's ballads are eminently danceable. I wasn't impressed that Andy had occasion to wake up the security team, but impressed that he did, and that he followed up with a statement that "this is a violence free zone" at the end of the song. In all a triumphant finish to the tour.

Great as always, but the show was really short. Encore was one song, then the house lights. Never experienced that from them before. Andy was moving really well, so don’t think it was his hips. What I think it may have been, was it being hotter than hell in the venue. We were in the front row of the second balcony (Moore Theater, Seattle) and it was beyond hot, with people stripping their shirts off, and all of us a dripping sweaty, mess.

I love Erasure and they never disappoint. Other than I would prefer general admission instead of seats, the group always performs the best of their songs. They usually come for more than one night, which is cool. I try to see them every time they come. The crowd is also great and friendly. It's always like a big dance party when Erasure comes to town.

As ever, an utterly brilliant performance not dampened by the venue being evacuated after just 3 songs due to fire. Impromptu sing song on the street outside the O2 then back in to a storming set of all of the old favourites and tracks from the new album.
First saw them on The Innocents tour and will be back for the next one !
