Regarding her performance, Sarah explains, “I designed a guitar that could play bass and guitar at the same time, so when I add beats I sound like a three-piece band”.

On bigger shows and festivals she adds a drummer for more punch and on this tour she will be showcasing the more intimate stripped back versions.

“It brings totally different things out of me,” she said in a 2020 interview with Beat. “When I’m playing in The Superjesus it’s more of a wank off. I’m showing off, it’s a rock fest. I’m jumping off things, screaming, getting people to clap along, rocking around like a chicken with my head cut off. It’s all in the name of showmanship and entertainment and fun.

“But then when I play alone I’m just there to close my eyes and sing and feel the music, it has more of a soul feel to it. They’re both equally fun but very different mediums. I really love the peace in playing solo, to just enjoy the quiet and control the dynamics as I feel them flowing through me. It’s always very impromptu, I just move with the vibe of the room.”
