This sounded like a great idea and Q suggested they'd call Mike to do the vocal parts. Just as Mike was walking on a beach by himself in the middle of nowhere, he recieved that call from Gus and considered it an excellent idea.

At the first rehearsal they quickly found that they needed a bassist to complete the band. Gus picked up the phone and called long time friend Klaus to hear if he was willing, free and able.
