THE CLEAN
Original New Zealand post punk band that began life in the 1970s,
then returned to prominence in the '90s.
The Clean were one of the most influential New Zealand bands of the post-punk era.
They formed in the town of Dunedin in 1978, when Hamish Kilgour (drums)
and his brother David (guitar) recruited David's school friend, guitarist Peter Gutteridge.
Soon afterward, they opened for New Zealand punk rockers Enemy.
The Clean were one of the first bands in the country to play original material.
They carved out a distinctive noisy but melodic sound, distinguished by
David's screeching, distorted guitar. When the Kilgour brothers decided t
o relocate the band to Auckland in 1979, Gutteridge had already left the lineup.
The Clean played with a rotating bassist before David quit the band and
moved back to Dunedin. Once he was back home, he was introduced to bassist
Robert Scott and the two started playing together; news of his brother's
new musical relationship prompted Hamish to move back to Dunedin and begin the Clean again
