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\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1627311831\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781627311830\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Langston, Richard\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Feral House\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Feral House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Apr 2026)","offer_id":46356817215685,"sku":"9781627311830","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781627311830.jpg?v=1781310792","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/the-clean-in-the-dreamlife-you-need-a-rubber-soul","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
