The former front-woman of Aussie band Superjesus the supremely talented Sarah McLeod will be performing live at The Metro Club on Oxford Street on Wednesday 13th August 2008 and we implore you to check her out!

Sarah first stepped into the spotlight as the lead singer for The Superjesus who released three successful albums and went on to win multiple awards including 3 Aria’s (Aussie Grammy).
In mid 2007, Sarah jetted off across the globe to Jimmy Douglass’ studio in Miami, The Spot, where they were joined by Grammy nominee, cult hip hop guru ill Factor (Roisin Murphy, Ginuwine, MatisYahu). Ill Factor and Sarah discovered they had a unique musical chemistry, and ill was instrumental in nurturing and drawing out an untapped side to Sarah’s compositions. Currently finishing up the mixes, the record is said to have her distinctive gutsy pop rock vibe mixed with the genius overtones of Jimmy’s globally respected production techniques and iLL’s edgy driving beats and is no doubt her finest work to date.
