The Clean are an
indie rock band that formed in
Dunedin,
New Zealand in 1978, and have been described as the most influential band to come from the
Flying Nun label, whose repertoire included many major components of the "
Dunedin Sound". Led through a number of early rotating line-ups by brothers
Hamish and
David Kilgour, the band settled down to their well-known and current line-up with bassist
Robert Scott.
