Baby Animals and The Superjesus announce Aussie tour

Australian rock royalty Baby Animals have announced a co-headline tour with fellow countrymen The Superjesus.

The two female-fronted bands will kick off the She Who Rocks Tour in May, beginning in Baby Animals’ frontwoman Suze DeMarchi’s hometown of Perth. Six additional shows then follow, including The Superjesus’ frontwoman Sarah McLeod’s hometown of Adelaide, finishing up at Sandy Bay, Tasmania on the 26th of June.

Suze DeMarchi said of the news: “The Superjesus blew me away with their Sumo record. I’ve been a fan since. Let’s see if they/we can keep it up!”

Sarah McLeod commented: “It’s been a long time coming, bubbling in my system since I first saw the BA’s at The Bridgeway Hotel in Adelaide in the early 90’s. I’m a fan, have always been. And now we get to share the stage together on a legit tour. Bring it on baby!”

The Baby Animals returned in 2013 with their third album (their first in 20 years), This Is Not The End. The album debuted at No.19 on the ARIA album charts and took them across Australia, playing a slew of sold out shows.

2013 also saw the reformation of The Superjesus after an overwhelming reaction to a one-off reunion show in their hometown of Adelaide. They also went on the road for the first time in a decade, playing sold out shows across the country.

Tickets for the She Who Rocks Tour, presented by Social Family Records, The Harbour Agency and Tone Deaf, go on sale today.
