Enrolment in an arts program at the University of Queensland came, therefore, as a sort of edifying compromise. Once at St. Lucia, the undergraduate - a brainy eldest child from rural Queensland - befriended a gracefully mincing eccentric named Robert Forster who played guitar and wrote his own songs. The two bonded over shared tastes in skewered pop culture and spent a lot of time at the Humanities library reading, in import copies of The Village Voice, about emerging bands like Television and Talking Heads.

Grant McLennan was in a relationship with multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown when he wrote it. McLennan died in But a week later it was fine. And, I hasten to add, everybody [else] was dead against recording it as well. It just felt like one of the other songs. Because it was so good, I mean, come on The Go-Betweens It was so hooky! It was such a standout. And that was fine by me because I understood that a single had to be treated differently. So it was much more of a studio construction, and maybe the best version of it ever is on the album. It was a nylon-string classical guitar he played the solo on — it might have even been a crappy old guitar of mine that just happened to be lying around. Streets of Your Town has long been identified with Brisbane, and has The Go-Betweens in an advertising campaign by Queensland newspaper the Courier-Mail with the darker lyrics omitted. The Go Between Bridge, spanning the Brisbane The Go-Betweens, is also named after the group. The most important thing I want to say is that Brisbane took it on as their own, so the Brisbane community grabbed it and ran with it, and because of that, for me, the song is about Brisbane. But Amanda will have a different story, and Amanda was a lot closer to Grant than I was.

Screen Australia © 2017 Essential Media and Entertainment 1 ONE LINE SYNOPSIS The Go-Betweens: Part Company uncovers the intensely passionate, creative and fraught relationships behind one of the most loved and influential bands in Australian rock history. SYNOPSIS The Go-Betweens : Part Company is the feature length documentary about the people who created the seminal rock band the Go-Betweens. © JEREMY BANNISTER It is a heartfelt story of discovery, uncovering the intensely passionate, creative and fraught relationships that formed one of the most loved and influential bands in Australian rock history. It is also the universal story of a great creative adventure that spanned three decades, through countless successes, failures, romances, break-ups, betrayals, triumphs and tragedies. The Go-Betweens: Part Company is a compelling investigation into the exhilarating, unpredict- able, and precarious lives of musicians, that reveals the true price paid by them to pursue their art. Directed by Kriv Stenders. The Go-Betweens: Part Company doesn’t assume knowledge of the band or their music, rather it offers an evolving revelation of them that truthfully exposes all the highs, the lows, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, and the beauty of being in a cult band and of trying to survive the harsh and brutal realities of an exploitative music industry.
