Eskimo Joe is alt-rock band from Fremantle, Western Australia comprising Kavyen Temperley (bass/vocals), Joel Quartermain (guitar/drums) and Stuart MacLeod (guitar) The group initally formed to compete in the National Campus Band Competition in 1997. Temperley and Quartermain were already in a band at the time, Freud's Pillow, but had met with little success and asked Temperley's childhood friend MacLeod to form a new band, which became Eskimo Joe.

Not many Tabs on this and most are way out. This is pretty close. This song has 3 guitarists but I have tabbed for just 1 or 2 and I have not done the yet. If you use this tab it is enough to get by with on the one axe. This is my 1st ever Tab!! Tabbed by Dave Wallace from Perth, Australia Email: [email protected]
