The Clean and The Great Unwashed
The Clean are recognised as one of the founders of the New Zealand independent rock scene and a pivotal band in the development of the Dunedin Sound, which was centred around the Flying Nun record label and produced other acts including The Verlaines, The Chills, Straitjacket Fits, The Bats (which included The Clean bassist Robert Scott) and the Tall Dwarfs. The Clean broke up in the early 1980s, and David Kilgour proceeded to form and play with other bands such as Stephen and The Great Unwashed. The Clean reformed in 1989 and produced the album Vehicle, arguably their strongest work to date.

Famous quotes containing the words clean and/or unwashed:
“Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Behind every working woman is an enormous pile of unwashed laundry.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
