Grant McLennan died last weekend, of a massive heart attack while asleep. He was 48. He was one of the two songwriters comprising the Go-Betweens.
The Go-Betweens were one of those bands which were widely influential amongst musicians and should have been enormously famous, but never really were. They found moderate success in the 80's, but split up in 1989. Eleven years later they reunited, and put out several more records, which (remarkably) were as good as ever.
Robert Christgau's remembrance here.
