About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Abstract Design / Comments

Escape started in 2002. We just wanted to play a few local gigs and perhaps do some recording. We were playing as an acoustic duo, doing some covers and two or three original songs. We recorded a five-song EP at a London studio in early 2002, and were surprised by the very positive reaction we got from family and friends. This spurred us on to keep playing, and expand the group. We added a bassist, Paul Leishman, and now we're pleased to announce that Claudio Cafolla has joined the ranks on drums, replacing Tim.
