The Go-Go's
The Go- Go's are an American new wave band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1978.
The Go- Go's rose to fame during the early 1980s and were the first, and to date only, all- female band that both wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the" Billboard" album charts.
Their 1981 debut album," Beauty and the Beat", is considered one of the" cornerstone albums of US new wave"( AllMusic), breaking barriers and paving the way for a host of other new American acts.
When the album was released, it steadily climbed the" Billboard" 200 chart, ultimately reaching No. 1, where it remained for six consecutive weeks.
The album sold over 2 million copies and went double platinum, making it one of the most successful debut albums of all time, and the group was nominated for the Best New Artist award at the 24th Annual Grammy Awards.
The Go- Go's have sold over 7 million records worldwide.
The Go- Go's broke up in 1985 but reconvened several times through the 1990s and beyond, recording new material and touring.
Though their 2016 performances were billed as a farewell tour, the band remains active on a sporadic ad hoc basis, most recently with three performances at The Hollywood Bowl in July 2018.
" Head Over Heels", a new musical featuring the songs of the Go- Go's, ran on Broadway at the Hudson Theatre from July 26, 2018 to January 6, 2019.
Far Out Corporation
Far Out Corporation was an Australian rock band formed in Brisbane, Queensland in November 1997.
They were led by singer- guitarist Grant McLennan, formerly in The Go- Betweens.
McLennan started the group with Ross MacLennan( no relation) on drums( ex- Turtlebox), bass player Adele Pickvance( from Davey Graney Band) and Powderfinger's guitarist Ian Haug.
It was a side project for most of its members, other than Ross MacLennan, as they were in other bands which were in hiatus.
The group's name is a reference to the rock supergroup, Far Corporation.
In November 1997 McLennan was asked to provide an ambient audio track for a music- arts project, Occiput Hammerings, held at Brisbane's Metro Arts Theatre.
Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, described them as a" conceptual art group with a pop orientation."
Far Out Corporation was initially a one- off group to fulfil the commission and performed live at one of the six nights of the Occiput Hammerings display early in 1998.
The group then continued to gig at various Brisbane venues.
In October 1998 they released their first and only album," FOC", which is an initialism of their name.
It was produced by Tim Whitten and Far Out Corporation.
McFarlane felt the album" successfully blended a pop sensibility with a more cerebral orientation( reminiscent of Underground Lovers, New Order or Velvet Underground)."
It provided the CD single," Do n't Blame the Beam".
In late 1999 The Go- Betweens unexpectedly reformed and McLennan brought Pickvance into a new Go- Betweens line- up; Far Out Corporation were disbanded by 2000.
On 6 May 2006 Grant McLennan died.
