The Escalators. More grooves than a record store.
From their home on the East Coast of Australia, The Escalators tip their fedoras to the sophistication of Swing, the grooves of Detroit, the rhythmic pulse of Jamaica, & the funk of New Orleans.
2016 release “From The Hip” sees The Escalators craft 5 original compositions that honour their swing, soul & reggae roots, and pay their respects on 2 jazz standards.
The studio philosophy was simple: capture the energy, & record live, with minimal cosmetic surgery. The result is a record that breathes, sounding fresh & alive. You are in the room with the band!
Debut EP "Felix" (2014) is a concept record that acknowledes their major influences: Classic songs from the 30s to 60s infused with fresh flavours from all corners of their record collection.
