Biografía

The Go-Betweens were one of the most internationally influential indie rock bands from Australia, formed by guitarists Robert Forster and Grant McLennan in Brisbane in 1977. Over the years they were joined by Lissa Ross (drums), Tim Mustapha (drums), Lindy Morrison (drums), Robert Vickers (bass), Amanda Brown (violin, oboe), John Wilsteed (bass), Glenn Thompson (drums), and Adele Pickvance (bass). The Go-Betweens were a critically-acclaimed cult act famously summarised by Village Voice critic Robert Christgau thus: ???Robert Forster and Grant McLennan are the greatest songwriting partnership working today.??? The Go-Betweens toured overseas numerous times and produced such indie hits as "Cattle and Cane" (1983) and "Streets of Your Town" (1988). After recording six acclaimed albums, Forster and McLennan disbanded The Go-Betweens in December 1989. Forster and McLennan pursued solo careers throughout the '90s but were inspired to work together after they were invited by fans at French music magazine Les Inrockuptibles to perform at the magazine's 10th anniversary. In 2000, Forster and McLennan reformed The Go-Betweens, assisted by all three members of Sleater-Kinney, and recorded the album The Friends of Rachel Worth. The most recent line-up (2005) included Forster, McLennan, Adele Pickvance (bass) and Glenn Thompson (drums). In October 2005 The Go-Betweens finally achieved mainstream recognition, with the album Oceans Apart (produced by Mark Wallis and Dave Ruffy) winning an ARIA award for Best Adult Contemporary Album. Grant McLennan died in his sleep at his home in Highgate Hill, Brisbane on May 6, 2006. He was preparing for a party at his ho
