Also known as Eskimo
Biography
Formed in 2004, Eskimo marked Dave Mulcahy‘s return to the Christchurch music scene, after playing in Superette and solo up north. Playing guitar and singing, Mulcahy was flanked by Rob Mayes (Dolphin, the Failsafe label etc) on bass and Michael Daly (YFC, The Renderers) on drums for their debut album ‘Lovermatim’
In 2007 Eskimo decided to change their name to Kimo, while working on material for 2nd album ‘Surrender’, which featured vocal contributions from Namiko Iwamoto and guitar from The Enright House’s Mark Roberts.
Mulcahy continued to split his time between Auckland (where he fronted group Spider) and Christchurch, whilst Rob Mayes eventually relocated to Japan.
