The Go-Betweens were a pop-rock/new wave band formed in Brisbane, Australia in 1977. The band was founded by singer-songwriters and guitarists, Robert Forster and Grant McLennan. They later added Lindy Morrison on drums, Robert Vickers on bass guitar, and Amanda Brown on violin, oboe, guitar, and backing vocals. After disbanding in late 1989, Forster and McLennan reformed the band in 2000 with a new lineup. Tragically, McLennan passed away from a heart attack in 2006 leading to the second disbandment of The Go-Betweens.

In 1988, their single "Streets of Your Town" became their biggest chart hit both in Australia and the United Kingdom (UK). Another single from their album 16 Lovers Lane titled "Was There Anything I Could Do?" reached No. 16 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States. Additionally, their song "Cattle and Cane" from Before Hollywood released in 1983 was recognized as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time by Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) in May 2001. In recognition of its impact on rock music during the 1980s era, Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) TV's The Great Australian Albums series featured their album 16 Lovers Lane as a classic example.</

Belle &amp; Sebastian and Teenage Fanclub have dedicated songs to them, Courttey Barnett has cited them as an important influence and numerous bands have covered their songs: The Go-Betweens. In 1977, friends Robert Forster and Grant McLennan founded the band in Brisbane, Australia, which within a few years became an international star in the indie world with its folky indie rock and songs like "Right Here", "Love Goes On" and "Streets of Your Town". . In 1989, the band broke up after six successful albums, only to return in 2000 with The Friends of Rachel Worth, an album they recorded with the members of Sleater-Kinney. Two more albums followed until 2005, until the sudden death of Grant McLennan in May 2006 brought an end to the band. Since then, Robert Forster has been maintaining the band's legacy, re-releasing the band's early work on Domino Records in two box sets in 2015, telling the story of the Go-Betweens as a story of friendship in his autobiography "Grant and I" and also releasing numerous solo albums . Now another facet is being added to this cultivation of the band's history: ten international comic artists have each chosen a favorite song and brought it to new life as a comic strip in very individual approaches.
