MacLeod co-wrote several Freud"s Pillow"s songs.
The pair decided to form a new band and auditioned a few drummers before settling on Joel Quartermain, who was a guitarist in Freud"s Pillow, but had mentioned he also played drums. MacLeod and Temperley decided Quartermain was more musical than any other drummer they had auditioned.
They then entered the band, Eskimo Joe, into the Australian National Campus Band Competition. Stuart uses various Fender Telecaster guitars, a black Yamaha AES1500B guitar and has used Fender, Vox, and now currently uses Hiwatt and Badcat amplifers.
