While successfully straddling the line between commercial success and keeping their Alternative Music roots secure, Eskimo Joe have racked up a long list of impressive stats. With six studio albums under their belts and sales in excess of 750,000 in Australia alone, the band has seen three of those albums debut at No.1 on the ARIA charts, with juggernaut Black Fingernails, Red Wine shining for a monster 62 weeks in the Top 50, and ‘Foreign Land’, from their fourth album Inshalla, bringing home two APRA Awards: Most Played Rock Song on Australian Radio and Best Rock Song of 2010.

Eskimo Joe have enjoyed 35 ARIA nominations in their career thus far – a number surpassed only by Silverchair, Powderfinger, Kylie Minogue and John Farnham. They have brought home three International Song-writing Awards, 11 WAMi Awards and eight ARIAs, and 11 of their compositions have featured in Triple J’s Hottest 100 countdown, with ‘Black Fingernails, Red Wine’ landing second place. 

The stage, however, is where the band shines, and Eskimo Joe have performed at many significant events, including Sound Relief, Live Earth, Make Poverty History, the ARIA Awards, the APRA Awards, Big Day Out, Homebake, Laneway Festival, Falls Festival, Southbound, Splendour in the Grass, Triple J’s One Night Stand, and the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, appearing on the same stage as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. In addition to a significant number of tours within Australia, the band has released music to great acclaim from fans and critics alike, in the United States, Canada, Europe and Korea, with large festivals and sold-out tours to boot.

Eskimo Joe continue to captivate their large and devout fan base, by pursuing new horizons and embarking on new challenges. This concert is part of a celebratory 21st-birthday tour featuring the Sydney, Tasmanian and West Australian symphony orchestras.

As their storied career continues to evolve, Eskimo Joe have certainly come a long way from their humble beginnings, as much-loved indie rock kids in Fremantle, WA.
