įreud's Pillow officially split within a few months of Eskimo Joes' win. For winning the national final, they were awarded a place at the 1997 Livid Festival in Brisbane and a studio recording session in Sydney. Eskimo Joe's first gig was in August 1997 at the University of Western Australia, in a local heat for the National Campus Band Competition -they proceeded to the state final in Perth and then the national final in Sydney. įormed as an alternative rock group in 1997 in East Fremantle, Eskimo Joe was initially a side project of Freud's Pillow, with MacLeod on guitar, Quartermain on drums and guitar, and Temperley on bass guitar and vocals. They auditioned a number of drummers and eventually settled on Quartermain, who they believed was more musical. While recording the EP, Temperley started jamming for a side project with MacLeod, writing several short and simple pop–punk songs. Despite their modest popularity, Quartermain and Temperley were unhappy with the band's musical style. The band performed around Perth and Fremantle from 1995 to 1998, and released an EP Pleasure Puppy in 1997 MacLeod, although not a member, is credited with co-writing "Mr Hoek" on the EP. When Temperley joined Carpet they changed the name to Freud's Pillow. The other members were his brother Stuart on drums and guitarist Joel Quartermain-all three were former students at Hollywood Senior High School. Temperley left school at sixteen to concentrate on writing music, moving into a share house with Simon Leach, who played bass guitar in a funk band called Carpet.
