On February 12 in New York there is going to be a bit of a get together to mark what would have been the 51st birthday of the Go-Betweens Grant McLennan.
Grant died in his sleep on May 6, 2006 of a heart attack.G-Betweens member Robert Vickers announced the tribute night via the band’s MySpace page.
The reason you're getting this is that I'm under the impression that you are someone who knew Grant McLennan or might want to hear about a little get together we are having on his birthday, Thu Feb 12th at a bar called HiFi at 169 Ave A at 8pm. I hope you'll all be able to stop by this time and help us remember Grant in his favourite setting, a bar. The HiFi's owner Mike Stuto, knew Grant from Mike's time at Thirsty Ear/Beggar's Banquet and he will have the juke box suitably stacked for the night. Looking forward to seeing you.
Brisbane band The Go-Betweens were around from 1977-1989 and again from 2000 until the time of Grant’s death.
They are best known for their 1988 hit ‘Streets Of Your Town’.
