Says Paul Berryman of the name: “It was basically just a piss-take on commonly used words in the 90’s. Like The Jesus and Mary Chain, ‘Jesus Built My Hot Rod’, 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 May 1996 and spent a couple of months on top of the Australian Independent charts and won a couple of ARIA awards.
All has not always well with the band internally and in 1997 Chris Tennent temporarily left the band. 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.
