Escapologists

The Escapologists come originally from the UK and Argentina, via France, Germany and the Netherlands. They are now are based in Nottingham, UK where they write and perform in a community of musicians including Sea Change, Savoy Grand and Amusement Parks On Fire. Escapologists formed in 2003 when previous members of The Noise Cartel (1997-2000) - Neil Wells (bass + vocals), Pete Fletcher (guitar), and Edward Earl (piano) - were reunited after detours through Hardcore Techno, Post-Rock and electro. New boy Argentinean drummer Jorge, who arrived from the Cabaret in Paris, joined them to complete the line-up. In 2004 they recorded the 'Starlight' EP which shows a darker side to their music. Shortly after this, Edward left along with his piano and the Escapologists became lighter and faster. And so, with new inspiration at the end of 2004, the remaining trio stopped gigging and devoted themselves to writing and recording an album at their studio. 14 months later, they came out with their album: 'In Free Motion'. The wonderful Devil Duck Records released it in Germany, Austria and Switzerland at the end of October 2006 following Escapologists two-week tour supporting their good friends Sea Change across these countries.
