Pop music and comic culture – somehow they &nbsp;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 – ThankYou 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, colourful and complex as the band's nine studio albums.&nbsp;

In 1977, friends Robert Forster and Grant McLennan founded The Go-Betweens in Brisbane, Australia and within a few years their folky indie &nbsp;rock, songs such as 'Right Here', 'Love Goes On' and 'Streets of Your Town' helped make them an &nbsp;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 ofGrant McLennan in May 2006 put an end to recording activity.

Since then, Robert Forster has been nurturing the band's legacy;&nbsp; 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 releasingnumerous solo albums and touring them around the world.&nbsp;
