The CleanThe Clean were an influential first-wave punk band that formed in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1978. Lead through a number of rotating line-ups by brothers Hamish and David Kilgour, the band (usually a trio), forged a distinctive and quirky sound that relied heavily on organ melodies and simple, Ramones-style chord progressions. In 1981, a fan of the Clean founded the Flying Nun label to release their first single, "Tally Ho." Although they released several chart-topping songs in their native country, the Clean are a cult band in the rest of the world. However, their influence is surprisingly far-reaching. They became a staple of college radio in the 1980s. Stephen Malkmus of Pavement cites the Clean as a major influence, and the band's droney 80's output is a direct forerunner of Yo La Tengo. The Clean continue to produce music, and Flying Nun recently issued a comprehensive collection of their previously hard-to-find singles.
