Produktinformationen "Thank You For A Lovely Day - 11 The Go-Betweens Songcomics"
Pop music and comic culture – somehow they
have always been siblings. So what could be more
natural than to have the great songs of one of the
most legendary bands transformed into comic
strips by fantastic illustrators and cartoonists? So
here it is: The Go Betweens songcomic – Thank
You For A Lovely Day. Eleven songs from
the entire creative period of the legendary
Australian band interpreted by eleven international
cartoonists and artists. As diverse, colorful and
complex as the band's nine studio albums.
In 1977, friends Robert Forster and Grant
McLennan founded The Go-Betweens in Brisbane,
Australian and within a few years their folky indie
rock, songs such as 'Right Here', 'Love Goes On'
and 'Streets of Your Town' helped make them an
international force in the indie world. In 1989, the
band disbanded after six successful albums,
only to return in 2000 with a new album 'The
Friends of Rachel Worth’ - recorded together with
the members of Sleater-Kinney - followed by
'Bright Yellow Bright Orange’ in 2003 and ‘Oceans
Apart’ in 2005 after which the sudden death of
Grant McLennan in May 2006 put an end to
recording activity.
Since then, Robert Forster has been nurturing the
band's legacy; helping re-release and present
their early works in the form of two box sets by
Domino Records, telling the story of the Go-
Betweens, as a story of true friendship, in his
autobiography "Grant and I” as well as releasing
numerous solo albums and touring them around
the world.
Liner Notes by Robert Forster.
