Dunedin, New Zealand (1978 – present)
In 1981, a fan of the Clean founded the Flying Nun label to release their first single, “Tally Ho.” A follow-up track off one of their early EPs, “Beatnik”, also achieved success, as did the second single, “Getting Older”. The Flying Nun label went on to be New Zealand’s biggest independent record company, championing the Dunedin Sound, a loosely-connected style of music largely produced by bands from this southern city. Others on the label included The Chills, The Verlaines, The Bats, and Sneaky Feelings.
During much of the 1980s, The Clean disbanded, and during this time the Kilgour brothers worked together on an experimental album and EP using the deliberately punning titles “The Great Unwashed” and “Clean Out of Our Minds”. Reforming in the late 1980s, the band explored a slightly poppier vein of music while still retaining their experimental edge.
