The Superjesus were a rock band from Adelaide, Australia. Their notable Australian hits include “Down Again” and “Gravity”.
Lead singer and main song-writer Sarah McLeod formed the band in late 1994 with guitarist Chris Tennent, drummer Paul Berryman and bass player Stuart Rudd. Tennent was McLeod’s guitar teacher at the time and a veteran of the Adelaide music scene having played in various bands since the 1980s. The band was originally called Hell’s Kitchen before changing their name to The Superjesus on the eve of the 1994 Big Day Out in Adelaide.
Says Paul Berryman of the name: “It was basically just a piss-take on commonly used words in the 90s. Like The Jesus and Mary Chain, ‘Jesus Built My Hot Rod’, The Jesus Lizard, Jesus Jones; there’s just heaps of Jesus’ out there in the music world so we thought we would have that and super was kind of like a 90s catch word.”
The group’s debut EP, Eight Step Rail, was released in 1996. It spent a couple of months on top of the Australian Independent charts and won a couple of ARIA Awards.
All had not always been well with the band internally and in 1997 Chris Tennent temporarily left. Aaron Tokona from Wellington, New Zealand band Weta filled in, though chose to turn down the band’s offer to become a permanent member.
They released their debut album, Sumo, through Warner Music in 1998 and its success in Australia led to a US release. The band has released two subsequent albums, Jet Age, in 2001, and Rock Music, in 2003. All albums charted well in Australia with the exception of Rock Music, which suffered from declining public interest in the band. The band never recovered.

Just happened across this track when my playlist was on random. I only own one of the singles - anyone know where to pick up their albums cheaply?

They haven't officially split. Officially they're just doing the solo thing at the moment.

I think they must have split up... anyone else see McLeod on Rove with a new band? Unless the Superjesus have renamed themselves 'Black Diamond Express'...
