When Robert Scott joined in 1980 the band found a combination that endured for nearly forty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clean profoundly changed alternative music: hitting the New Zealand charts for months with a single made for $50, ‘Tally Ho!’; helping establish Flying Nun and a music scene independent of the big labels; pioneering a low-fi, do-it-yourself approach to rock music; and touring internationally to influence bands like Pavement and Yo La Tengo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRaw and immediate, this is the story as told by members of The Clean and their inner circle – fellow musicians such as Chris Knox, Martin Phillipps, Graeme Downes and Ira Kaplan, friends and family, pub promoters and sound engineers, and their good friend, Richard Langston. From teenagers in a Dunedin practice room to New York City on 9\/11 – this is the band’s history as it unfolds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Upstart Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47264453329132,"sku":"9781776711567","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781776711567.webp?v=1769735196","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-clean-by-richard-langston-9781776711567","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
