Mellow Drunk on Rare Victory Records "Love Goes On Tribute to Grant McLennan"
Mellow Drunk are featured on Rare Victory Records "Love Goes on Tribute to Grant McLennan." We went though lots of Grant's songs and came up with a version of "Boundary Rider" from the Go-Betweens final recording "Ocean's Apart." I'm very happy with the results and we're in good company as the release also features The Orchids, Luke Haines, The Bats, The Clientele, Trembling Blue Stars and many others.
