Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians.

Eskimo Joe's Kav Temperley opens up about the band's remarkable three-decade journey in Australian music and their electrifying new single "Miracle Cure." From their humble Fremantle beginnings to becoming ARIA chart-toppers, this conversation reveals the authentic storytelling and creative chemistry that has kept them at the forefront of Australia's music scene.

Growing up in Fremantle's nurturing artistic community, Kav shares how the town's creative atmosphere shaped his musical destiny from an early age. "If you wanted to be a professional artist of any description, no one would say 'what are you going to do for a real job?'" he recalls. This supportive environment fostered the connections that would become Eskimo Joe, when childhood friends and neighbors discovered their shared musical passion.

The band's evolution from campus band competition winners to multi-platinum selling artists showcases their remarkable resilience and adaptability. After taking a creative break in 2013, they've returned with renewed energy, embracing today's digital landscape while maintaining their commitment to meticulous songwriting. Their latest single "Miracle Cure" draws inspiration from what Kav calls "Australian Gothic" – blending their signature sound with influences from the vast Australian landscape they experienced during their storytelling acoustic tour.

Perhaps most fascinating is their intentional shift away from traditional album cycles, choosing instead to craft one perfect song at a time. "We are so annoyingly fastidious," Kav admits with a laugh, explaining their Beatles-influenced approach to songwriting. With a 20th anniversary celebration of "Black Fingernails Red Wine" on the horizon and more new music in the works, Eskimo Joe continues to demonstrate why they've remained relevant across generations.
