Dean Sabatino is an American musician, best known as "Dean Clean", the drummer of the satirical punk rock group The Dead Milkmen. Sabatino lives with his family in Media, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia.

Career

Prior to the Dead Milkmen, Sabatino played in the early '80s two-piece new wave band Narthex. He joined the Dead Milkmen in 1983 as the only member with previous experience playing in rock bands. The group enjoyed college radio and modest MTV-based success through eight studio albums and substantial touring before disbanding in 1995. In the late 1980s, he also played with a rock group called Baby Flamehead, who released one self-titled album.

Sabatino and Dead Milkmen band mate Joe Genaro formed the band Butterfly Joe, active from 1996-2001. Sabatino also played drums with the vaudeville group The Big Mess Orchestra, with whom he remains sporadically associated.

In 1995, Sabatino's drumsticks were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of a 1300 + collection of signed drumsticks.^[1]

After two reunion shows in 2004, the Dead Milkmen reformed in 2008 (with Dan Stevens replacing the deceased Dave Schulthise on bass guitar). They are presently performing concerts and working on new material. Sabatino has maintained the band's official website since its inception. Baby Flamehead also reunited in 2010.
