History
Sweet Jesus was signed to Rough Trade Records records in the early 1990s, being tipped as "one-to-watch" by the music press – along with Suede and PJ Harvey. On 18 August 1991, the band performed at Manchester's Boardwalk venue, supported by the first live appearance Oasis. Although not yet in the band, Noel Gallagher – along with Inspiral Carpets – watched the show. The band released an exclusive single through the Rough Trade Singles Club in November 1991, followed by three individual singles in 1992. In August of the same year, the band performed in the Session Tent at Reading Festival alongside Suede and Sunscreem.
Despite the band's work with producers Ray Shulman and Ian Broudie, the collapse of Rough Trade resulted in the group's premature disbanding.
