ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN: THE CLEAN ON FILM

New Zealand's The Clean formed in 1978. Led by brothers Hamish and David Kilgour, the band cycled through a few line-ups before recruiting Robert Scott to play bass. Flying Nun (founded specifically to release Clean material) issued the band's first single, "Tally Ho," in 1981, and would go on to be instrumental in the development of the Dunedin Sound, releasing records by cult heroes The Verlaines and Sneaky Feelings, among others.

Dormant for much of the late mid- to late-80's the Clean periodically reformed to tour or release a record. In 2007, the band played a short tour of the east coast, and later this year will be stateside once again, headlining the always worth it Gonerfest; it remains to be seen if the Gonerfest engagement is a one-off, or if the band will be touring more extensively.
