About this concert
Robert Forster, den banbrytande artisten och konstnärliga kraften bakom 80-talets ikoniska indierockgrupp The Go-Betweens, återvänder till scenen och kommer till Stockholm för en spelning på Bar Brooklyn med sitt svenska band den 26 september. Sedan den mörkare och konstnärliga eran med The Go-Betweens har Forster behållit sin unika förmåga att skapa allt från livliga poplåtar till hjärtskärande ballader. Med en imponerande solokarriär, inklusive fyra soloalbum mellan 2007 och 2024, senast med ”The Candle and The Flame”, fortsätter Robert Forster att vara en konstnärlig kraft att räkna med. I maj släpps det nya albumet Strawberries. The Go-Betweens var ett av 80-talets mest bildade popband, och Robert Forster och Grant McLennan var ett av decenniets främsta låtskrivarduo. Efter bandets splittring har Robert Forster fortsatt att utforska olika musikaliska vägar, främst som soloartist. Nu återvänder han till huvudstaden med sitt band för att leverera en oförglömlig konsertupplevelse på Bar Brooklyn.

Robert Forster Biography
Robert Forster is an Australian singer-songwriter, best known for his work with songwriting partner Grant McLennan with whom he co-founded The Go-Betweens.
Born 29 June 1957, Robert grew up in Brisbane, Australia.
In addition to his work with the Go-Betweens, he has released five solo albums: Danger in the Past, recorded in Berlin in 1990; Calling from a Country Phone, recorded at Sunshine Studios, Brisbane, in 1993 with members of local pop group Custard; I Had a New York Girlfriend, a collection of cover versions recorded in Melbourne in 1994; Warm Nights, recorded in London in 1996 and produced by Edwyn Collins; and The Evangelist, recorded (all but one track - "A Place to Hide Away") at Good Luck Studios, London, September - November 2007.
Critically acclaimed internationally as a songwriter, he reveals a strong literary influence in his work. He became, through his work with McLennan and the The Go-Betweens, one of a group of Brisbane musicians who established a particular Brisbane sound characterised by laid-back, jangly arrangements.
In 2005, Forster began writing for the Australian magazine, The Monthly. He had virtually no print experience, with only a column on hair care for a fanzine in the 1980s to his credit. On 25 October 2006, it was announced that Forster was the winner of the Pascall Prize for Critical Writing for his columns.
On 6 May 2006, Grant McLennan died in his sleep at his home in Brisbane. Forster picked three songs co-written by Grant McLennan, including "Demon Days", which is the last song the pair wrote together, and recorded them alongside some of his own material to produce his first album in 11 years. The Evangelist was released on April 26, 2008 through Yep Roc Records.[5]
Forster announced his return to live performance with four nights at the Queensland Music Festival in July 2007.
