Artist History By August of 1997, a three-year-old, four-piece band named Hindenburg, based in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, had gained moderate success. OnTV?s Best of Pittsburgh Websites said, "Like the doomed dirigible, their music is explosive." But also like its namesake, the band fell short of its destination. From the flames, Erratic Fool was born. Stripped down with a leaner, edgier sound, the band redefined itself. The threesome still continues the tradition of breaking the norm, using various musical styles and never hesitating to mix them together. Their music shows evidence of everything from classic to modern rock, spiced up with bits of blues, funk and even a little swing. Being such a melting pot band, "erratic" is definitely the best description. In August of 1998, EF teamed up with legendary Pittsburgh guitarist Angelo Morreale (Nygel Dundee of T.K.O.) to engineer and co-produce their debut studio EP, Fools in the Attic.
