Eskimo Joe @ The Hi-Fi
// OCTOBER 31ST, 2013
Last time, an intimate acoustic anthology of the band's past albums was enjoyed at Brisbane's Old Museum, but tonight it was time to take in a selection of new tunes as "the Eskies" performed songs from their 2013 release Wastelands.
The clearly long-time-fan dominated crowd was treated to studio-quality renditions of new tracks "Running Out Of Needs", "Not Alone" and "Every Harmony", along with some old favourites like "London Bombs", "Sarah" and "Black Fingernails, Red Wine".

Tapping into the Halloween theme, Stu took to the stage at the beginning of the night looking a little worse for wear with his face unzipped from neck to forehead.
Despite his best attempts to keep the look together, the costume kind of deteriorated as the set went on and the sweat began to run.

Later, when the boys returned to stage for their encore, Kavyen emerged sporting a glow-in-the-black-light-fuelled-dark skeleton suit which wriggled around the stage during "Sad Song".
Top-to-bottom Eskimo Joe put on a fantastic show, proving that even after 16 years in the business, they are still more than capable of writing great tunes and performing them to a packed room full of adoring fans!
