Encyclopedia
HaClique (Hebrew: הקליק) is an Israeli rock
band founded in 1980 composed of Dani Dothan (Vocals), Eli Avramov (Guitar), Ovad Efrat (Bass) and Jean-Jacques Goldberg (Drums).
The band were originally around for three years, and reunited twice, once in 1988, in which they recorded and released their live album, and again in 1999, releasing their mini-album in 2002, exclusive to their box-set which was released the same year.
They became well known in Israel
for songs like "Incubator", "Golem", "Ani Avud", "Al Tadliku Li Ner" and "Kol Haemet". In their time, they released two albums, a live album, a mini-album, a box-set and three singles.
In 1980, the four of them, along with guitarist Uzi Binder, recorded the songs "Tzaleket Ktana" and "Makom Belibech", which were released as a 7" record. The first few live shows were at cinema "Paris" in Tel-Aviv
In 1981, their first record, Ima Ani Lo Rotze Lehigamel
, was released. It included the songs: "Yeled Mavchena", "Ima Ani Lo Rotze Lehigamel", "Golem" and "Incubator". These songs describe the test tube birth of a child to his death. The record wasn't a great success but with a thousand or so copies sold it made the charts in Israel.
In 1982, HaClique joined with Rami Fortis
and Ronen Ben Tal of Chromosome and Jean Conflict. The purpose was to play at the connection festival in Eilat and although this came to nothing, they continued to appear together at club "Linguini" in Tel Aviv for three months.
In 1983, their second album, Olam Tzafuf
, was released which included the songs: "Kol Haemet", "Mondina", "Hey Yaldon", "Yalda Mefuneket", "Ani Avud", "Al Tadliku Li Ner" and "Bear Hug". This record mentioned relations between homosexuals, which had been unseen before in Israeli music. At the same time, a single from the album, "Al Tadliku Li Ner" was released, about the Lebanon War
.
That same year, the band played mainly in Tel Aviv
at the club, Dan Cinema but also appeared a few times in Jerusalem and Haifa
. They found success but some members thought that they would not get the exposure they deserved without compromise. Due to this disagreement, HaClique didn't so much as break up, but went into hiatus.
In 1988 the band reunited and recorded a live album
, Live In Tel-Aviv
, at 'Real Time', releasing it as a limited edition vinyl record. In 1995, Dani Dothan recorded a solo album All of the Forbidden Loves under the record label "The Third Ear". Ovad Efrat and Eli Avramov played on the record.
In 2002, the band released a box set
containing their two previous studio albums Ima Ani Lo Rotze Lehigamel, Olam Tzafuf and a new album, Hakol Mushlam
, including the songs: "Eretz Israel 2000" and "Hakol Mushlam". Three promo CD singles were also released to promote the box-set; "Incubator", "Al Tadliku Li Ner" and "Eretz Israel 2000".
In 2004 the band announced new live dates at "Barbie" in Tel Aviv with keyboardist Jasmin Even. And on 28 December 2006, band member Jean-Jacques Goldberg died after a two year struggle with cancer.
