Eskalators
The Eskalators are a Brooklyn-based steampunk and vegan musical collective, puppeteering ensemble, and experimental street mime troupe formed by Eric Williams in the summer of 2007.〔(Escalators Interview on WFMU )〕 The group is known for holding elaborate, public performances, fire poi artistry, and flash mobs on New York City Subway cars without formal written consent from the subway's operator, the MTA.〔(Promoting the Guerrilla Gig )〕
==Founding==
Eric Williams was driving cross-country with the members of The Best Thing Ever to film a documentary about them. During the middle of the trip, he decided to start his own band to open shows for The Best Thing Ever, and was soon joined by Alec Billig and Jennifer Page of The Best Thing Ever.〔(Eskalators Interview on WFMU )〕 They played their first show on an escalator at the Mall of America.
The Eskalators released their first recording, ''Never Break Down'', in April 2008. Shortly after, New York City promoter Joe Ahearn approached the band about performing on a subway car before one of his upcoming shows.〔(Following SleepWhenDeadNYC's Subway Show from Bowery JMZ to Goodbye Blue Monday )〕 The Eskalators agreed, and have continued to play subway shows, each centered on a different Subway station and train line.〔(SleepWhenDead's Fourth Subway Show This Saturday, Starring the Eskalators and the Beats )〕
