Eric Althaus is the co-Founding member, manager, and drummer of the progressive rock/metal band EQUINOX. In early 1996, Equinox's major label debut "Color Of The Time" - released on JVC / Victor - entered foreign hard rock album charts at #19 in Japan, #31 in Germany, and held similar Top 40 positions across Europe, South America, and Asia. Today, Equinox songs still receive prominent airplay in nearly 50 countries.

Eric's tenure in other bands includes: Luna Sea (2004-present) a variety show band featuring vocalist Melody Gilbert (performs with CROW, and blues-great Corey Stevens). Joy Ride (2008) a popular rock band around the Twin Cities, playing the most exclusive venues and festivals in the region. ShakyJake (2007) a popular alternative rock band that played in the region's most exclusive venues. The Bad Animals - A Tribute To Heart (2006-2007). Torok (1994-2005) a hard rock group, that aside from featuring Eric, includes guitarist Mike Torok (formerly of shock-rock kings Impaler). The Mindy Gunn Band (2004-2005) a classic rock female vocalist (formerly of Maiden Voyage) that still tours extensively through America and Canada, routinely headlining large outdoor festivals. Vox Tempus (1998-2002) a prog-rock band that Eric started by recruiting some of Equinox's and Takara's former background musicians. And Renaissance / Renaissance-13 (1988-1990) a funk/fusion band that featured Prince's cousin Tony V. Eric's live session work with other artists includes Precious Fish, Nocturnal Prince, The BackFlashers, and others - as well as recording session work with many top national artists and several recent commercial jingles heard throughout the United States.

In addition to Eric's musical career, he is an avid Martial Artist that has been an instructor for more than 15 years. He is also an amateur magician, and collects ancient weaponry, wrist watches (novelty and luxury time pieces), and horror memorabilia.
