Neck of the Woods

The Great Unwashed

Synopsis

The Great Unwashed were an eclectic spin-off of Flying Nun's legendary The Clean. 'Neck of the Woods' comes from the later, louder period of their short career. The accompanying video has a touch of experimental film to it. Alongside trademark Flying Nun primitive animation and stand-in guitarist Stuart Page in a loopy mask, the lyrical mentions of sun and moon are imbued by psychedelic lightshow effects, ala 2001: A Space Odyssey (undoubtably on a somewhat tighter budget). Allegedly shot at TVNZ Christchurch’s studios on the Miss New Zealand set
