The Clique was formed by [[Matt Sharp]] when a man claiming to be an NBC executive told Sharp about a television movie project called ''Ice Butterfly: The Nancy Kerrigan Story''.<ref name="vaultdive">Weezer Fan Club Vault Dive #2. 2 August 2020. https://youtu.be/ZKnRhSaDXMs?t=3123</ref> The executive commissioned Sharp to make the theme for movie. Sharp, who had never written a song before, formed the Clique with two friends he had met through the [[Wikipedia:Black_Rock_Coalition|Black Rock Coalition]].<ref name="The Cliques">Koch, Karl. ''Recording History,'' archived from weezer.com. [[Recording_History_-_Page_1#Matt_Sharp:_The_Clique_-_Summer.2FFall_1989|Recording History - Page 1]]</ref> Sharp borrowed money from his mother and recorded the song "Ice Butterfly" (described by [[Karl Koch]] as "A somewhat pretentious Cure/Joy Division style recording") at Paramount Studios in Hollywood in July of [[1990]].<ref name="vaultdive" /> After the movie project fell through, Sharp produced a maxi-single of the song in an attempt to get it played by local radio stations, to little avail. The band was thereafter dissolved. | |||
