▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The Go-Betweens are the quintessential cult band. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Throughout their hugely acclaimed career they have ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sustained an unparalleled artistic consistency ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which has year by year elevated them above their ▓▌
▓████▓▌ contemporaries, many of whom have lapsed in to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ unfortunate artistic decline whilst the unique ▓▌
▓████▓▌ songwriting partnership of Forster and McLennan ▓▌
▓████▓▌ garners more respect and acclaim with each new ▓▌
▓████▓▌ release. Even Princess Caroline of Monaco and the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Premier of Australia have become fans with the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ latter distributing copies of their latest album in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the American Senate! Thanks to a fervent fan base ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the group is now playing to larger audiences than ▓▌
▓████▓▌ it ever did in the eighties. Their last release, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bright Yellow Bright Orange, has proven to be one ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of their biggest sellers to date. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The Go-Betweens were formed in 1978, when Grant ▓▌
▓████▓▌ McLennan and Robert Forster, two Queensland ▓▌
▓████▓▌ University students with a passion for films and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the US punk scene, met and decided (in Grants ▓▌
▓████▓▌ words) ôto do The Factory in Brisbaneö. Musical ▓▌
▓████▓▌ instincts prevailed and, encouraged by Robert, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Grant took up the bass guitar. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ After playing together for no more than four ▓▌
▓████▓▌ months, the pair went into the studio to record two ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of RobertÆs songs - æKarenÆ and æLee RemickÆ. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Pressing up 500 copies and distributing it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ themselves, they nearly ended up with a deal at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Beserkley Records (US indie label and then home to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Jonathan Richman) but Beserkley ran into financial ▓▌
▓████▓▌ difficulties. In fact, the Go-Betweens were dogged ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by label troubles through out their career. Rough ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Trade who eventually put out their debut LP Send Me ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a Lullaby in Europe, had to drop the band after ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their second album due to a lack of finance. Later, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ both Sire and Elektra who either had the band ▓▌
▓████▓▌ signed or were in the process of signing them had ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to let them go when both labels closed their UK ▓▌
▓████▓▌ offices. But the Go-Betweens always had a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ phenomenal drive that kept them going- returning ▓▌
▓████▓▌ again and again to Britain, as strangers and then ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as undervalued songwriters, in an effort to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ establish themselves on the world-wide music scene, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ self-financing singles, supporting the Birthday ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Party across Australia, recruiting more members as ▓▌
▓████▓▌ they went (drummer Lindy Morrison, bassist Robert ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Vickers and, later, violinist/oboist Amanda Brown, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ whom the band discovered playing a Forster song, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ æDraining The Pool for YouÆ, in a coffee bar) and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ on the last album, bassist John Willsteed. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Their second album, Before Hollywood, was recorded ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in Eastbourne, autumn 1983 and sounds all the more ▓▌
▓████▓▌ wonderful for it. Four more albums followed: Spring ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hill Fair, recorded in France on a major label ▓▌
▓████▓▌ budget, the more coherent Liberty Belle and the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Black Diamond Express (for which Robert recorded ▓▌
▓████▓▌ all his vocals in one afternoon, his voice having ▓▌
▓████▓▌ been out of action for most of the sessions), the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bright poppy Tallulah and finally, the more ▓▌
▓████▓▌ acoustic and reflective 16 Lovers Lane. The heavily ▓▌
▓████▓▌ played radio single æStreets Of Your TownÆ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ followed, as did a support slot with REM. However, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by this point the pressures of being together for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ twelve years were beginning to have visible effect ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and both Grant and Robert were pushing in different ▓▌
▓████▓▌ directions. Finally, the Go-Betweens decided to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ call it a day. The set up of the band, with two ▓▌
▓████▓▌ independent singer-songwriters was (and still is) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ an unusual one, but in this case it worked out ▓▌
▓████▓▌ perfectly. RobertÆs edgy, dark and highly romantic ▓▌
▓████▓▌ compositions were offset perfectly by GrantÆs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lighter, more wistfully melodic and lyrically more ▓▌
▓████▓▌ expansive contributions. ItÆs hard to say however, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ what makes them both so special. Unlike a lot of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bands the Go-Betweens just made albums of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (admittedly highly accomplished) guitar-based pop ▓▌
▓████▓▌ songs. They didnÆt do anything widely unusual or ▓▌
▓████▓▌ idiosyncratic, but what they did is beautiful and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ timeless. Maybe it is something to do with the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ interplay on two perspectives on what must be ▓▌
▓████▓▌ similar or concurrent events. Maybe its the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ underlying romanticism of all their records - that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ they appreciate the fact that love and life are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ battles but they are battles which must be fought ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and one should wear ones scars proudly. They also ▓▌
▓████▓▌ knew how to craft a subtle arrangement around an ▓▌
▓████▓▌ intelligent lyric and winsome melody. And that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ should be enough for anyone. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ After the split of the Go-Betweens, Robert Forster ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and Grant McLennan had vibrant solo careers. Both ▓▌
▓████▓▌ released four solo albums and Grant also released ▓▌
▓████▓▌ two albums with Steve Kilbey of the Church under ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the name of Jack Frost and one album with Ian Haig ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of Powderfinger under the name of F.O.C. Recent ▓▌
▓████▓▌ projects have included a biography written by David ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nichols and published by Allen and Unwin in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Australia, a Go-Betweens tribute album, an ▓▌
▓████▓▌ acclaimed compilation: Bellavista Terrace, and a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ collection of lost early recordings from 1978-79. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Since the split, Grant and Robert have played ▓▌
▓████▓▌ together on several occasions acoustically ▓▌
▓████▓▌ including the Beggars Banquet birthday celebrations ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in Tower Records, in Piccadilly Circus London ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (August 1994) and most notably with a full band at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Les Inrockuptibles 10th anniversary show in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Paris (23rd May 1996) and a run of six full band ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shows in June 1997, two in Dublin, one in Glasgow, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ two in London (Forum and Fleadh Festival) and the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Roskilde Festival in Denmark. As a duo, Robert and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Grant toured the world in 1999 to rave reviews, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which prompted the pair to consider recording a new ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album together. Sitting in a Melbourne seaside ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hotel on the Australian leg of their tour, Forster ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and McLennan finally agreed to restart The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Go-Betweens with a new album. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The Friends Of Rachel Worth (2000) was the result. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ten new songs were recorded in Jackpot Studios in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Portland, Oregon. The album was produced by the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ band with Janet Weiss from Sleater-Kinney on drums, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Adele Pickvance (who has played with both Forster ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and McLennan in their solo careers) on bass, Sam ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Coombes (Quasi and Elliot Smith) on keyboards along ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with Carrie Brownstien and Corin Tucker from ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Sleater Kinney on guitar and backing vocals. The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ finished record stood proudly alongside anything in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their canon and received unanimously rave reviews. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The Go-Betweens toured the world with great success ▓▌
▓████▓▌ playing to the largest audiences of their career ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and culminating in a headline slot at AustraliaÆs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Big Day Out, and Robert and Grant were honoured by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Australian Performing Rights Association for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ writing one of the ten greatest Australian songs of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ all time with æCattle and CaneÆ. They completed ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their eighth studio album Bright Yellow Bright ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Orange in 2003, which was released to huge acclaim. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The group toured again, including Japan for the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ first time and their UK dates were sold out with a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rapturous response. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Robert relocated to Brisbane, where Grant is based, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and they spent the rest of 2003 and much of 2004 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ writing. Their work was interrupted only by a short ▓▌
▓████▓▌ trip to Europe, playing two shows to celebrate the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ re-release of the albums Liberty Belle & The Black ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Diamond Express, Tallulah and 16 Lovers Lane. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Vicker Street in Dublin and LondonÆs prestigious ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Barbican Theatre were both sold out. Whilst in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ London they met up with Mark Wallis, the producer ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of 16 Lovers Lane, and agreed to return in November ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to record their new album with Mark producing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ again. The album was completed in January 2005 and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ is entitled Oceans Apart ▓▌
