Grant McClennan
February 12, 1958 – May 6, 2006
Grant McClennan was an Australian singer-songwriter who is best remembered for co-founding the critically acclaimed alternative rock back, the Go-Betweens. Formed with Robert Forster in 1977, the band released six albums until disbanding in 1989. During their time together, McClennan and Forster were celebrated as their time’s greatest songwriting team by no less than the Village Voice. As is often the case, despite such accolades and a rabid core fan base, the Go-Betweens never found the success they deserved. Following the band’s break-up, McClennan released a handful of albums as both a solo artist and under collaboration with others. In 2000, he reunited with the Go-Betweens for three more albums. On May 6, 2006, Grant McClennan died of a fatal heart attack in his home. He was 48.
