Go-Betweens Plan First U.S. Tour in Years

On-again, off-again Australian pop veterans the Go-Betweens are celebrating the release of their new album Oceans Apart, the band's third offering featuring both reunited founders Robert Forster and Grant McLennan since their initial split in 1989. To commemorate the good tidings-- and a pretty good album-- the Go-Betweens are heading out on a world tour that will start in their native Brisbane and take them to America together for the first time since... well, 1989.
