Eskimo Joe to Play 'Sweater' Live For The First Time in 20 Years
"We haven't played 'Sweater' since 2002 at Fowlers Live Adelaide, but since that day not a single show has gone by where someone hasn't yelled out 'play Sweater’. It has become almost sacred to the OG Eskies fans, so for all of you who've been waiting for this moment please enjoy this 2022 version of 'Sweater' we’ve put together'
(Jarrad Seng)
Eskimo Joe are headed out on a six-date national tour this month, and to celebrate they've released a new version of their 1998 breakout single Sweater.
The Black Fingernails Red Wine In The City 2022 tour will see the 11x time ARIA Award-winning alt-rock trio playing their Black Fingernails Red Wine and A Song Is A City albums, in full, nightly. The band is also teasing playing the new version of Sweater in the encore.
The band Kav Temperley explains "We haven't played Sweater since 2002 at Fowlers Live Adelaide, but since that day not a single show has gone by where someone hasn't yelled out 'play Sweater’. It has become almost sacred to the OG Eskies fans, so for all of you who've been waiting for this moment please enjoy this 2022 version of Sweater we’ve put together. And for those coming along to join us on our national Black Fingernails Red Wine In The City tour in a few weeks' time if you are lucky we might be playing this one in our encore".
The new version of Sweater can be viewed below.
Very special guest Adalita will serve as support at all shows in Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Perth. The Magic Dirt frontwoman shared that she is excited to be joining her fellow Aussie rock icons on the road.
"I am so excited to finally be hitting the road in support of Eskimo Joe on their ‘Black Fingernails Red Wine In The City’ tour. It’s going to be huge and I can’t wait!!”
