A buoyant yet bittersweet ode to nostalgia, Australian alternative rock icons Eskimo Joe return today armed with The First Time; the band’s first new music since 2021’s 99 Ways. Set to appear at Lookout Festival alongside Live and Incubusbefore embarking on their National Acoustic Theatre Tour starting this April, The First Time feels familiar yet fresh, with Eskimo Joe capturing the essence of their stadium rock-ready triumph, 2008’s Black Fingernails, Red Wine, alongside some sharp 2024 vigour.

Kav Temperley from the band have provided their Top 10 items of their Dream Rider

1. Sapporo Premium Beer on tap.  We’re all partial to this lovely lager from Japan.
2. The most highly rated local barista on hand for the morning after the show.  To offset item 1.
3. Comedy large TV to view whatever AFL game is happening before the show.  Yep, we’re big fans!
4. Bunnings style sausage sizzle.  Also big fans.
5. Pair of Crocs to be worn the day after show by whoever makes the most changers on stage.
6. Childcare.  To watch our kids during the show and the band members after the show.
7. Hairdryer and assorted hair styling products.  Despite the band’s age, 27 years, we’re lucky to still require these.
8. Private chopper to transfer band back to whichever Big 4 we’re staying at.
9. Socks n jocks.  The thinking musicians rider request. 
10. Security to bounce Phil Jamieson.  Love him, but he’s a serial rider spider (thief)
