Grant McLennan

During the period of the 10 years to check out, the Go-Betweens surfaced among the most critically acclaimed rings from the post-punk period, yet exceptional LPs like 1983’s Before Hollywood and 1987’s Tallulah merely failed to discover an market; when 1988’s outstanding 16 Lovers Street failed to force the group towards the stardom a lot of forecasted, they disbanded, and McLennan started his solo profession. After recording as you half of Jack port Frost, a duo he produced using the Church’s Steve Kilbey, he released his single debut, 1991’s Watershed (acknowledged, as was its 1993 follow-up, Fireboy, to G.W. McLennan). After 1995’s double-LP Horsebreaker Superstar, he toured using a briefly reunited Go-Betweens before issuing his 4th solo effort, INSIDE YOUR Shiny Ray.
