The Go-Betweens

The Go-Betweens was an Australian indie rock band formed in Brisbane, Queensland, in 1977 by guitarists Robert Forster (b. 1957) and Grant McLennan (1958-2006). After disbanding in 1989, Forster and McLennan reformed the band in 2000 with a new line-up, however, they came to a permanent end after McLennan's death on 6 May 2006. 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.”
