Everything But The Girl's Tracey Thorn Is Writing A Book On The Go-Betweens' Lindy Morrison

A new book about The Go-Betweens' drummer Lindy Morrison OAM is set for release in early 2021. 

The book, titled My Rock 'n' Roll Friend (taken from a The Go-Betweens' 16 Lovers Lane bonus track), has been written by Tracey Thorn, the former singer for UK duo Everything But The Girl. 

Thorn's own memoir, Bedsit Disco Queen: How I Grew Up & Tried To Be A Pop Star, became a fast favourite on its release in 2013, with Thorn following up with Naked at the Albert Hall in 2015 and Another Planet: A Teenager in Suburbia last year.

The book will detail the friendship between Morrison and Thorn and is due to be released on 1 April 2021.

"In 1983, backstage at the Lyceum in London, Tracey Thorn and Lindy Morrison first met," reads the book's description.

"Tracey's music career was just beginning, while Lindy, drummer for The Go-Betweens, was ten years her senior. They became confidantes, comrades and best friends, a relationship cemented by gossip and feminism, books and gigs and rock 'n' roll love affairs.

"Morrison - a headstrong heroine blazing her way through a male-dominated industry - came to be a kind of mentor to Thorn. They shared the joy and the struggle of being women in a band, trying to outwit and face down a chauvinist music media.

"In My Rock 'n' Roll Friend Thorn takes stock of thirty-seven years of friendship, teasing out the details of connection and affection between two women who seem to be either complete opposites or mirror images of each other. This important book asks what people see, who does the looking, and ultimately who writes women out of - and back into - history."
