Private Eleanor to appear on Go-Betweens tribute!
We are quite excited to announce that our cover of a Go-Betweens song called "Love Goes On!" will be appearing this fall on a tribute compilation for late Go-Betweens co-leader Grant McLennan. We're so honored to be chosen to be a part of the project... We're big Go-Betweens fans, and fans of Grant's songs in particular, so getting to cover one of them was really fun for us. We'll be in good company on the album as well, alongside bands like the Clientele, Portastatic, Ivy, Stars, and so many other good bands.
You can hear our version of the song (as well as the best of the other submissions -- the Bank Holidays' version is pretty awesome) at the MySpace blog of the label releasing the album, Rare Victory. Thanks to Rare Victory! We should know more details about the actual release soon.
Until then, if you don't know them, go buy a Go-Betweens record.
UPDATE: Looks like this story got us our first mention on Pitchfork!
