DESCRIPTION:
Hamish Kilgour was always the most unassuming member of New Zealand's Clean, which may help explain why his latest band, the Mad Scene, has received less attention than his brother David's solo outings or Robert Scott's Bats. In any event, the Mad Scene, which also includes Lisa Siegel on guitar and vocals and, in its most recent incarnation, former Go-Betweens bassist Robert Vickers, is a solid and occasionally spectacular pop band that has shown steady improvement throughout its recorded career. The Mad Scene debuted in 1992 with the 7-inch Falling Over, Spilling Over EP, three songs from which also appear on A Trip Thru Monsterland.
