I just got this the other day from a user here, as I had the same
question.  Put this in your .emacs, and change the key definition to
something you like:

(fset 'ClearERC [?\C-p ?\C-e ?\C-  ?\M-< ?\C-w ?\M->])
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-x C-c") 'ClearERC)

I run this with point right after the ERC prompt.  It goes up a line,
moves to the end of the line, sets the point, moves to the beginning
of the buffer, kills the region, and moves to the end of the buffer
