The Go-Betweens persistently defied categorisation. They were unconventional in line-up and look, noted for near misses and near hits, confounding themselves, fans and record companies with the choices they made. From their unusual beginnings (Grant didn't want to be in a band - he couldn't even play an instrument), through private and professional break-ups, to their reformation in 2000, Foster leads a merry and poignant dance across a thirty-year collaboration, culminating in the premature death of McLennan, in 2006.

Autorenporträt
Robert Forster is a musician and writer based in Brisbane. In 1978 he cofounded with friend and fellow singer-songwriter Grant McLennan the internationally acclaimed rock band The Go-Betweens. They released nine albums during their career; their sixth, 16 Lovers Lane, was placed at twelve on The Hundred Best Australian Albums list, and their last, Oceans Apart, won the 2005 ARIA award for Best Adult Contemporary Album. In 2015 Forster curated the box set G Stands for Go-Betweens Volume 1 1978-84 and released his first solo album in seven years, Songs to Play, to strong reviews. A parallel career began for Forster in 2005, when he was appointed music critic for The Monthly. A year later he won the Geraldine Pascall Prize for this writing; and a collection of his journalism, The 10 Rules of Rock and Roll, was successfully published in 2009.
