ROB SEZ: At the beginning of this series showcasing N.Z. artists, I confessed my profound love of David Kilgour's band The Clean. Here now is a chance to hear David in solo mode, with one or 2 others, and with the Heavy Eights in 2016. Although solo DK is a different musical beast than The Clean, I predict those who appreciate the latter will also enjoy the former. If you can fill in any of the missing song titles, please leave a comment and I'll update the post.

From Ira Kaplan's 2007 Hanukkah diary:

If the holidays are a time for getting together with loved ones, then I can’t think of a better way to start night two of our little shindig than with the Clean. I have a vivid memory of riding toward the Lincoln Tunnel — this is something like 20 years ago — listening for the first time to a pre-recorded cassette of Compilation that a friend thought I’d like, and flipping my lid. Speaking of lids, the Clean’s were topped with black wigs, and had lots to say between songs, much of it profane. They opened strong with “Hold On to the Rail,” “Side On” and a world premiere “Factory Man,” and ended even stronger, with a triple play of classics — “Point That Thing Somewhere Else,” “Tally Ho,” and their Jewish number “Beatnik” — before closing with a gorgeous “Safe in the Rain.”

ROB SEZ: Gotta be up front about my profound love of The Clean, comprised of David & Hamish Kilgour and Robert Scott. If you force me to say which N.Z. band I love the most, I will readily cop to The Clean.  Something about David K's way with words, melodies, and the just-right guitar lines: feels like a complete package. HUGE THANKS to YLTfan for recording this one and to neil d for doing the rest. My apologies for being so slow to get this series going: just too much going on re: the rest of my life in the past 6 weeks. I'm now setting aside some early a.m. hours every week now, so look for weekly posts from here on.
