Far Out Corporation was a band led by late singer-guitarist Grant McLennan, mostly known as a singer, songwriter and guitarist for Australian rock group The Go-Betweens. McLennan started the group with his brother Ross McLennan on drums, Dave Graney's bass player Adele Pickvance and Powderfinger's guitarist Ian Haug. The band was formed as a side project for all its members other than Ross McLennan, as they all were members of larger rock bands than Far Out Corporation. The group's name is a reference to the rock supergroup Far Corporation, which was also comprised of various musicians. In 1998, the group recorded their first and only album, which was named "FOC" after the initials of the band's name.

In late 1999, McLennan's old band The Go-Betweens unexpectedly reformed, and McLennan brought Pickvance into the new Go-Betweens line-up. At this point, Far Out Corporation ceased to be an active entity. On 6 May, 2006 lead singer Grant McLennan passed away, and as such, the group is no longer together.
