In October 1982 Kliche (Now spelled Kliche) released the album "Okay Okay Boys" recorded with a mobile unit at Svinklov Badehotel. In 1985, while working on their 3rd album, the band was officially dissolved. Later that year Lars H.U.G. released his first of a string of succesful albums..
In 2006 the "Supertanker" album - much to Lars H.U.G.'s dismay - was marked as part of "Kulturkanonen" (a official list of essential Danish cultural heritage set a ship by the liberal(conservative government).
