Cat, Matt, Adey and Duncan formed Esiotrot in the late 80's when they got together to play Tortoise covers backwards. Soon Thomas Stimson joined on vibes, and they went on to perform a series of incendiary live shows, which so inspired Roald Dahl that he was moved to name his latest book after them. After the recording of their now legendary debut album "Schmesiotrot" they recruited brass section Thom punton and John Edom, to record some overdubs and play some shows, and they ended up never leaving. After releasing an EP on unpopular records, and playing a radio session for Hugh Stephens, Esiotrot went on to record their great lost album, 7 apples, which is now due to see the light of day as a series of split seven inches.Esiotrot have had the pleasure of playing (so far) with Los Campesinos, Danielson, Johnny Foreigner, The Wave Pictures, Jens Lekman, Bill Wells, I'm From Barcelona, Clearlake, Hayman Watkins Trout and Lee, Oil Rig Catering, Lisa Li-Lund, Jeniferever, Pants Yell!, Airport Girl, Fanfarlo, Sleeping States, Sports Day Megaphone, Team B, Hexicon, Spoono, Tea and Toast Band, Airsick Antelope and Sonaura to name a few.
