For every Gary Numan or The Cult, there’s a few Go-Betweens. Those bands that stood right on the brink of breaking through – but, by some trick of fate or circumstance, never quite tipped over the edge. In part 1 of a 2-part special celebrating Australia’s greatest indie pop export, drummer Lindy Morrison reflects on all the things that made The Go-Betweens both so special and so very unlikely to ‘make it’ – at least in the years they were active. Now, the band are better known than ever, and theirs is a story that has had a lasting impact not only on the musical legacy of the country that they left, but also on the way that Beggars Banquet conducts all of its business with artists. Linda’s story is a powerful one, and she tells it brilliantly.
