From the EP The Singles EP (1984)
The Great Unwashed were a short-lived spin-off of legendary band The Clean. 'Neck of the Woods' comes from the later, louder period of the group's existence. The accompanying video has a touch of experimental film to it. Alongside primitive animation, and stand-in bass guitarist Stuart Page wearing a loopy mask, the lyrical mentions of sun and moon are imbued by psychedelic light show effects, à la 2001: A Space Odyssey (although on a somewhat tighter budget). The video was filmed at TVNZ Christchurch’s studios, on the set of Miss New Zealand.
