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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Langston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Feral House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781627311830","brand":"Feral House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45486696038537,"sku":"9781627311830","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f21d2995-6697-4106-a526-430f5a28961c.jpg?v=1775541596","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-clean-in-the-dreamlife-you-need-a-rubber-soul-9781627311830","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
