I know lots of you hate the Go-Betweens - so you may fuck off now, thanks.

Anyone else who's interested:
"Bright Yellow, Bright Orange" is rumored to be the title.

November 27, London - at a not yet disclosed location - there will be a performance to promote said record.

No release date given yet - expected to be in Feb or March 2003.

Nice to see they've returned to the double-L titles.

Oh I'm glad they're doing another record. I don't like it when bands have a 'comeback' and it only lasts one album, like they've decided it was a bad idea after all. I've not played their last one for ages though.

I thought that "...Rachel Worth" was up there with their best work. But having heard some of the newer songs live, it's initially difficult to feel this one will be quite as good.. but I'm keeping an open mind.

I was really not looking forward to Rachel Worth after hearing those songs live and was pleasantly surprised.

no, not a new Go-Betweens album, but I've constructed a possible version of Freakchild, the unreleased follow-up to 16 Lovers Lane http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/ Whaddaya think?

Nice! I'll check it out.

Forster looks smokin' in that pic, by the way.

The 2004 reissue of 16 Lovers Lane includes a fabulous live version of "Running the Risk of Losing You."

yeah! i actually posted that entire show a few months back -- the link should still be active ... there are versions of "Easy Come Easy Go" and "I've Been Looking For Somebody" on there, too ...

So literally there's a new Go-Betweens...Robert Forster's kid has a band called The Goon Sax and they sound exactly like the Go-Betweens and it's actually pretty good!

I dunno, odd it's like a kid taking over his dad's hardware store or something, it would have almost been cool if these kids actually became The Go-Betweens: The Next Generation.

ha, been meaning to check this out ... can't figure out if i love or hate the name GOON SAX.

tylerw, Wednesday, 30 March 2016 14:54 (ten years ago)

I guess it caught my attention

honestly though this is so weird, it's almost like a Frank Sinatra Jr. type thing

but it all works way better than it should like the kid just has the same vibe as his dad

some of the lyrics are a bit 2016 and "younger" but overall it's like a Go-Betweens album

Fun Aussie slang fact - "goon sack" is the name given to the silver bladder filled with wine inside the cardboard "wine cask" packaging. An Australian contribution to the world, chokes me up with pride. Many lost evenings to goon sacks during my student days.

Ah thanks! Boxes are the best wine packaging

two years pass...

New Goon Sax has more elaborate arrangements, kinda like they're skipping forward to Tallulah for their second album. (No doubt they *love* such comparisons.)
