far out corporation

far out corporation was a band led by late singer-guitarist grant mclennan , mostly known as a singer , songwriter and guitarist for australian rock group the go-betweens .
mclennan started the group with ross mclennan -lrb- no relation -rrb- on drums , dave graney 's bass player adele pickvance and powderfinger 's guitarist ian haug .
the band was formed as a side project for all its members other than ross mclennan , as they all were members of larger rock bands than far out corporation .
the group 's name is a reference to the rock supergroup far corporation .
in 1998 , the group recorded their first and only album , which was named `` foc '' after the initials of the band 's name .
in late 1999 , mclennan 's old band the go-betweens unexpectedly reformed , and mclennan brought pickvance into the new go-betweens line-up .
at this point , far out corporation ceased to be an active entity .
on may the 6th , 2006 , lead singer grant mclennan died , and the group is no longer together .
