The Clean to stage first US tour in more than 10 years
17 July 2001

Depending on how you read it, legendary New Zealand rock trio The Clean have broken up and reunited four times in their 23 year history (the Rough Guides view), or the members sometimes take breaks and do other stuff.
    In any case, singer/ songwriter/ bassist Robert Scott (also of The Bats, The Magick Heads, solo, and of his new band Harmonic Deluxe), guitarist David Kilgour (also of Yo La Tengo, tour-wise, and of his new band David Kilgour And The Heavy Eights), and drummer Hamish Kilgour (also of The Mad Scene and Bailter Space) have recorded a new studio album in Dunedin and Aukland.
    Titled Getaway, the LP will be released this year by Chapel Hill, North Carolina’s Merge Records for the US, and probably by the band’s longtime label Flying Nun in New Zealand.
    We are especially pleased to report that the band will tour North America in September—their first visit in more than 10 years. We’ll get you dates and venues as soon as the band reveals them. | The Clean on Flying Num Records | | The Clean on Merge Records | | Robert Scott | | top of page |
