Trembling Blue Stars

Trembling Blue Stars to appear tribute on a tribute to Grant Mclennan

Since the news broke of Grant McLennan's tragic passing, we have been flickering through moods of melancholy and a sense of wonder at the huge body of work that Grant has produced over the past 27 years. And so did TREMBLING BLUE STARS, who have joined the project of Rare Victory Records to pay hommage to the music of the great Australian songwriter, and they have already recorded their cover version of the song "Coming up for air".

The album, which isn't coming out until June 2007, will be titled "Love goes on! - a tribute to Grant McLennan & The Go-Betweens", and it will feature sixteen contributions by true admirers of the McLennan-Forster repertoire. Among the artists that have already confirmed their inclusion, apart from TREMBLING BLUE STARS, there's other favourites of us like BELLE & SEBASTIAN, THE BATS, PORTASTATIC, IVY and THE CLIENTELE. Music journalist Jack Rabid will be contributing liner notes.

In an effort to make this tribute album as participative as possible, Rare Victory Records is asking fans of the GO-BETWEENS to contribute to the compilation by sending any photographs they may have of Grant. June 2007 is still a long way from here, but it will surely be worth the wait.
