Abstract:

<p>"The 1981 release of The Clean's Boodle Boodle Boodle was a catalyst for independent music in Aotearoa/New Zealand, to which the "Dunedin Sound" was anchored. The Clean became ambassadors for a burgeoning independent music culture, drawing upon the DIY spirit of punk and post-punk that was centered around Dunedin, on the country's South Island. The book&nbsp;will explore the emergence of The Clean and the immediate impact of Boodle, the role the band played in shaping New Zealand's independent music industry, and a consideration of how that myth has informed archival initiatives that aim to preserve its legacy"</p>
