When Robert Scott joined in 1980, the band found a combination that endured for nearly forty years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\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\u003cbr\u003e\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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Langston\u003c\/b\u003e is a journalist, poet and television director who has written about the Dunedin music scene since the 1980s.
