The Go-Betweens are an Australian rock group formed in 1977 by Robert Forster and Grant McLennan. Later members included Lindy Morrison, Robert Vickers, Amanda Brown and John Willstead. The band broke up in 1989 after six albums. In 2000 Forster and McLennan restarted the band and released three more albums until the recent death of Grant McLennan.

Alien Left Hand -- What the critics say:
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun." -- Diva Magazine
