Eskimo Joe is heading to the U.S. to perform at some more intimate venues including the Mercury Lounge in NYC (Aug 15) and Viper Room in LA (Aug 21).

Having already achieved considerable fame in their native Australia, Eskimo Joe is set to ride onto U.S. shores with the anticipated debut release of �Black Fingernails Red Wine� (U.S. Rykodisc release, September 25. 2007). Armed with a superbly crafted, chart-topping album that has already propelled them to superstar status in their homeland, Eskimo Joe is eager to meet and make fans stateside with their immediately satisfying music and expertly crafted rock-pop songs.

To kick off their US run Eskimo Joe will perform at the 2nd Annual Rykodisc Showcase, a Tipitina�s Foundation benefit concert on August 10 at Tipitina�s Uptown in New Orleans, Louisiana with fellow Rykodisc recording artists Will Hoge, Junior Senior and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult.
