This is worrying. I know that there are fans of the Clean and Bailter Space on here - he was also in an early incarnation of Luna.
Really hope he’s ok
Total legend
Tragic news
Awful
Fuck sake
Gonna be another shit situation when I fully get into a band only after some tragic news like this
Fuck it all - sad news
RIP legend
Just tragic, RIP. Andrew Brough, Peter Gutteridge and now Hamish - all Flying Nun legends lost in similar circumstances.
RIP very sad. Greatest NZ band ever IMO.
If you like their sound I’d highly recommend the chills who are still touring (and are lovely fellas from my own experience of chatting to em)
aah Sandymount. went shroom picking up there…good memories for a young Gorky’s during his larval stage
that EP was put out in the UK on my local record shop’s label, back in the day
Was that Avalanche in Edinburgh?
Indeed!
in my interactions the guy has always been personable enough that this comparison feels mean, but I also always got a Bernard Black vibe off him …
i’ve seen Wooden Shjips cover this one live
Probably worth changing the thread name, given the tragic news.
Really sad news. I got really into The Clean when they played with Pavement on their first reunion. So many brilliant songs. RIP
I discovered the Clean when ‘Vehicle’ was released in 1990 and only got to see them once supporting Pavement at Brixton Academy on that reunion - I’m so glad that I had chance.
