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, Forster grew up in Brisbane, Australia. He met McLennan in drama classes at the University of Queensland and, inspired by a mutual love of Bob Dylan and the New York music scene, formed the Go-Betweens in 1977. The first Go-Betweens single, Lee Remick, was released on their own label in 1978 and the first Go-Betweens album, Send Me A Lullaby, was released in 1982, by which time Forster and McLennan had been joined by drummer Lindy Morrison. For much of the 1980s the band were based in the UK, releasing a total of six albums in this decade and adding more members including Robert Vickers on bass and multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown, before splitting at the end of 1989.
