    BEATS OF YOUR TOWN On the eve of the release of their new album ‘Ocean’s Apart’, Grant McLennan, co-leader of watershed Brisbane pop group, The Go-Betweens, takes the time to grant Robiter an interview. Matthew ‘The Rock Lobbster’ Lobb reports The Clowns Come To Town – Film School Rejections and UQ Librarians Long before Queensland art tangled at a pretty summit with pop music (the years prior to LP wonderworks such as Before Hollywood, Liberty Belle And The Black Diamond Express and 16 Lovers Lane) , one Grant McLennan had been knocked back from film and television school on account of his 16 years. 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. Go-Betweens circa '78: Librarians Beware No doubt McLennan was more OCEAN’S APART PICKED APART Grant talks Robiter through the new studious than his pal who failed both at arts and at convincing him to album form a rock group. While a disciplined McLennan passed classes with focused endeavour, Forster was crashing heavily and channelling his ‘Here Comes A City’ (the first vigour into composing songs about would-be love interests.

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.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION London, 2020 Dear Lindy, You won’t believe what I’ve done: me, the quiet one. I’ve written it down, written you down, told all your stories, tried to capture you in the pages of a book. Some people know about you already, or think they do; you’re sort of famous. Others have never heard of you, but I don’t think it matters either way. This isn’t a rock biography, and although the story of your band, The Go-Betweens, is part of the narrative, the real story is you. Or maybe, in truth, the story is you and me, the arc of a friendship, the imprint one person leaves on another. Do you remember how it began? I do, so clearly: 31 March 1983, backstage at the Lyceum in London. I was in my dressing room sitting in front of the Hollywood- style bulbs surrounding the mirror – uncomfortably bright lights which showed up the tattered glamour of a faded old theatre, dust motes swirling in the air, a worn-out sofa, a carpet that had seen better days, a window that didn’t open, stale air. My band the Marine Girls were about to play a gig supporting Orange Juice. Also on the bill were The 1 785BBB_tx.indd 1 20/01/2021 12:08 Go-Betweens. I was terrified and out of my depth, unused to dressing rooms, sound checks, gigs in London, all of it. In my second year at university, but still a small-town girl at heart, little more than a child.

We looked to find those connected. John Willsteed The songwriter guitarist, world-weary journeyman Dan Kelly Dan Kelly was our first choice. He plays with the skill and affection the Danny Widdicombe songs need. His wry sense of humour, energy and larrikin Luke Daniel Peacock take keeps us light and laughing. GUEST VOCALISTS From Brisbane came the trim, spruce gentleman Danny Steve Kilbey (The Church) Widdicombe who is a songwriter and guitarist working in folk Izzi Manfredi (The Preatures) and country genres. In 2010, he won the Grant McLennan Jodi & Trish (The Clouds) Memorial Fellowship. His rhythm guitar instinctively Kirin J Callinan complements Forster and McLennan’s and his lead playing Shogun (Royal Headache) is lyrical and exquisite. Dave Mason (The Reels) Finally, in the unassuming tender musician Luke Daniel Rob Snarski (The Blackeyed Susans) Peacock we found someone to play essential keyboard and Peter Milton Walsh (The Apartments) other critical guitar lines providing fragility, colour, dynamics Romy Vager (RVG) and detail. Peacock plays in Halfway, a Brisbane based ABOUT THE WORK indie rock/alt country band with John, and is a fine singer The Songs and songwriter. In the middle of another Sydney summer, 1988, Lindy asked LINDY MORRISON me to join the band – somewhere amongst the tennis, the The Singers late-night parties, and lobster at The Aquatic Club.
