The Superjesus return with brand new single “Lights Out”. The driving, melodic track - written by Sarah McLeod and Stuart Rudd and produced by drummer Murray Sheridan - provides the perfect backdrop for McLeod’s distinctive vocal.
Sarah McLeod said of the track, “The Superjesus would like to dedicate this song to Rita Riman. Rita was a longtime fan - a member of the band’s very first fan club in the early 90’s. A group of music lovers met through our message board called ‘Static’… before My Space was invented… this group became very familiar to us and attended all our shows for the next couple of decades. Rita struggled with mental health issues for many years but her saving grace was always music. Sadly a couple of years ago we lost her, and it sent shock waves through all of us. So many people struggle with mental health issues in silence, we need to remember to ask each other if we’re ok. This song is for Rita and the fans who grew up with us.”
Since bursting out of Adelaide in the mid-’90s, The Superjesus have had nine Top 50 hits, two Top 10 albums, placed five songs in Triple J’s Hottest 100, won three ARIA Awards, and been inducted into the South Australian Music Hall of Fame.
