The Superjesus hail from Adelaide, forming in late 1994.
Their debut album, Sumo was released in February 1998, peaking at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart, whilst their second album, Jet Age was released in October 2000, reaching No. 5.
Their third album, Rock Music came along in the May of2003, peaking at No. 14.
Their top 40 singles include Down Again (1997), Now and Then (1998), Gravity (2000) & Stick Together"(2003).
At the ARIA Music Awards of 1997 they won Best New Talent for Eight Step Rail and Breakthrough Artist – Single for Shut My Eyes.
The group disbanded in mid-2004, and reunited in 2013. The band has undergone multiple line-up changes, with lead vocalist Sarah McLeod and bassist Stuart Rudd serving as mainstays.
As of 2024, they are joined by lead guitarist Cam Blokland and drummer Ben Todd.
In September 2022, the band announced a headlining tour for January 2023 in support of a forthcoming new single, Money.
The following month, the band confirmed that they would release their fourth studio album in 2023, which is being recorded at Studio 85 in the Blue Mountains and produced by drummer, Murray Sheridan.
In December 2022, the band formally inducted lead guitarist Cam Blokland and drummer Murray Sheridan into the line-up.
The Superjesus toured Australia from August through to December 2023, promoting their new single Lights Out.
Back in late March, the band released their self-titled fourth studio album. Making them the second act for season two of the Friday Flash(back). I saw the Superjesus at an all ages gig at the Metro Theatre in Sydney many years ago and again at Mingara on the Central Coast.
The group are outstanding and Sarah McLeod is an awesome front woman. Who has also had a solid solo career. So ahead of tomorrow's Friday Flash(back), here are so highlights.
