The folks at WMinc Productions invited
me to another gig and this time it was a schmooze-type thing for the new Go
Betweens album. Looking around the room I spotted folks like Dave Graney and
Rob Snarski (Blackeyed Susans) and I must admit I sorta felt like a duck out of water. Anyway, this version of the Go Betweens was a three-piece, with Grant
McLennan on guitar/vocals, Adele Pickvance on bass and Robert Forster on
guitar. It was a fairly straightforward affair, with a number of new songs plus some old favourites (eg. "Cattle and Cane", "Streets of Your Town"). Robert was feeling a little under the weather so he avoided vocal duties to such an extent that the new song "He Lives My Life" was done as an instrumental (!). File this gig under "short but sweet". A big thank you to Graham and Steve for the
invite.
