Indie rock band formed in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1978. They originally broke up in 1982, but came back in 1988 and toured sporadically thereafter. Drummer Hamish Kilgour passed away in Dec 2022. In the years they were no longer a band, songs kept being released, including rarities and live recordings. Bands like Pavement and Yo La Tengo have cited them as a big influence.
In September 2017 The Clean were inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall Of Fame.
