A long career in the music industry is much of a rarity these days but Adelaide rockers The Superjesus have managed to hold their place as one of the countries most respected live bands for almost 30 years.
Emerging in the late 90’s and signing to Warners worldwide they released 3 classic albums: Sumo, Jet Age and Rock Music, two of which went platinum. The 3 x ARIA Award winners took a hiatus in the mid 2000s to work on solo projects and reemerged in 2013 to test the waters. Pleased to have found themselves well received by the public they headed back into the studio for 2016’s EP Love And Violence followed by a double live album.
The South Australian Music Hall Of Fame inductees have a strong work ethic and an ear for a good hook. With hits such as Gravity, Secret Agent Man, Down Again and Now And Then under their belt their songwriting has always remained their strong point .
This March The Superjesus released their 4th full length studio album titled The Superjesus *their first in 20 years!). After decades of crafting their sound, the songwriting partnership of Sarah McLeod and Stuart Rudd has truly found it’s sweet spot.
Rudd say’s “our writing partnership together has blossomed into a fantastic place to be creative”
McLeod backed this up with “When you find a great creative writing partner, stick with it”
To date 5 singles have been released from the latest album: Money (We’re Only In It For Love), Lights Out, We Won’t Let Go Until It’s Over, Something Good and a cover of Generation X’s Dancing With Myself. All 5 singles have gained national airplay, setting the mood for this highly anticipated release.
They have kept the beautiful ballad Diamonds for the final single from the album. Here we see The Superjesus like never before, a beautiful emotive stirrer written on the piano showcasing how far the band has come musically, coupled with Sarah McLeod’s classic rich vocals.
The Superjesus are back stronger than ever and according to Rudd “not going anywhere anytime soon”.
