The Clique came from Perth and shortly after forming they won the western division of Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds competition in 1966. Though they didn’t win the national final at Festival Hall in Melbourne, they did secure a contract with the Go!! label, and a slot on television’s Go!! Show, which was notable as Perth bands were usually signed to the Clarion label. They cut their only single in 1967 at Bill Armstrong Sound Recording Studios in South Melbourne. It had two originals, each written by one of their guitarists. Lenny Hayworth wrote the A-side ''Love Me Girl'', and on the flip was Mike Carr's "Stop, Look and Listen". This was their only recording. They had the option of relocating to Melbourne or Sydney to promote the band through live shows, but they chose instead to return to Perth. Brian McAlpine on vocals and harmonica joined them for about eight months before they disbanded in late 1967. Brian McAlpine has since died.
