This success led them to a support slot on the Dave Clark Five, Cilla Black and Freddie and The Dreamers tours of Australia. Their follow-up, "Can't You Hear Me Callin'," didn't do nearly as well. The group's lineup changed with the departure of guitarist Doug Osborne in late 1965, but the group remained cohesive enough to land a contract with the EMI, which yielded the powerful rocker "Keep On Going Back." Their swan song came in 1968, soon after the release of what proved to be their final single, ''Baby I Need You'' for Columbia. The Henchmen continued on for a few more years playing the Melbourne hotel circuit, Doug Osborne died in 2019.
