I've heard of them and even liked their stuff, but I do wash so do I still count

...think the 'unwashed' reference was refering to the fact that our English bretheren once had a reputation for bathing but periodically.The lack of sophisticated plumbing (showers), living a dozen to a house, sharing one bath/bed/domestic goddess, and spending the bulk of their time in coal mines, factories, or assaulting each other at soccer matches being the root of this.

You live in Oz Pops so am guessing cleanliness is next to Aussie-ness and no wonder you've heard of Split Enz. Stopping now.

and all this time I thought the need to wash constantly was down to the close association with sheep.

Aha, but I've only been here for 6 months, new arrival from London. Born in Gods country though SCOTLAND.

I can still hear the bagpipes and taste the haggis.

They were hardly going to get lost in the avalanche of musical talent coming from down under - even including Oz

Was it one of the Finn brother's bands? Some connection to Crowded House, but I can't remember what it was.
