Click Click was formed in 1982 by brothers Adrian and Derek Smith after the end of their previous rock project "Those Nervous Surgeons". In 1982, the group acquired guitarist Richard Camp from the band "Bikini Amber" and thus the first experimental synth-rock incarnation of Click Click was born. They cut their first single later that year, but Camp departed over creative issues and formed a blues band. Influenced by artists such as Captain Beefheart, Can, The Residents and The Mothers of Invention Click Click continued on with other revolving members down a more electronic path until their eventual break up at the end of 1989. Other members included keyboard player Jon Morris, guitarist Graham Stronach and lighting wizard Pete Hosier (Big Ant Productions) who remained with the group until the end. In 1997 Adrian and Derek reformed briefly to record Shadowblack for the OffBeat label. The album was more electronic than their earlier work and almost completely instrumental. It was greeted with overall positive reviews within the underground music scene. Due to the member's volatile relationship however, the band split again in 1998 with no apparent plans for another reunion. Summer 2008 brought the news that Click Click's back catalogue would be available again, this time via various download platforms including iTunes and related. "Lung Function", a compilation of remastered singles, was released via iTunes, Amazon digital service and eMusic in 2008. "Party Hate Revisited" was released in remastered digital format early 2009. A limited edition CD is now available.
