The Superjesus
The Lookout, Scarborough, WA
11 November 1999

Arriving at the venue at about 10:30pm (with The Superjesus due on in 1/2 an hours time), I found out that the biggest cheers of the night so far had come when the local supports, F.U.L.L and Naked Eye, had yelled out 'You guys want The Superjesus?' This was a clear indication that the crowd were extremely hyped up to see the great band live again after almost a year absence from the stage.

When they came out, there was a quick hello from Sarah before they launched into Saturation. The band got into it right from the beginning, and the crowd were full of energy and enthusiasm during the entire set. I have to say that 18+ shows kick arse over all ages, the crowd are much more friendly and the good vibes from both the band and crowd seemed to be non-stop throughout the set (much like all ages shows but so much better.) Sarah's voice was great as always and seeing/hearing Stu doing back up vocals during a couple of the songs was a highlight. The great thing about the band's new material, was that the crowd responded really well to it even though it was so fresh to their ears. Along with the rockin new material, the old favourites, especially Down Again, brought the house down. My personal favourites (of the new stuff) would have to be Letter to the Peacecore and Everybody Calls Me Lonely (also a favourite of the band) which will no doubt be received really well by current fans and ensure they convert a lot of new ones. The best older songs were definitely Everything Turns and Saturation. The Superjesus put on one hell of a show, probably one of the best I've seen of theirs in the 3 years i've been going to their gigs and this was their FIRST show in 10 months! Simply a brilliant band, can't wait for the next album.
