Started as a studio project, Esquimaux made their live debut at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, CA in 2004. That same year, they made their radio debut on L.A.'s KCRW 89.9 on Nic Harcourt's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" and have since been charted and played on several indie and college radio stations worldwide. December of 2007 marked a return to recording for Esquimaux after a 2-year maternity leave with an EP recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago, IL.
Esquimaux has also had some notable guest musicians contribute to their music. On the "perfecto!" LP you can hear Gary Jules singing on "Honey & Dear", and bassist Brian Gibson of the bands Lightning Bolt and Wizzardz performing on "For The Record". For their "Tiger" EP, drummer Eric Stock of the band Stroke 9 plays throughout.
Originally from Baltimore, transplanted to L.A., and now divide time between both areas. Heather Brown has also been seen singing with folk singer/songwriter Gary Jules (best known for his cover of "Mad World" for the film "Donnie Darko"). While with Gary Jules, Heather opened for Sheryl Crow, Beck, Liz Phair, & Jack Johnson to name a few. James Sajor was a founding member of the influential D.C. "screamo" band, Anasarca, and has performed in Glenn Branca's "Symphony for 100 Guitarists". Graham Dodge has played with several unknown bands (including past bands with James and Heather separately) and is a founding member of the band, Sex O'Clock.
