Cockrell invited John Garcia as a singer for the band to jam at the home of Bjork. He sang the lyrics that Bjork and Homme. The band had no money for tuners so she agreed the guitars on feeling and hearing. Because there is a mentality prevailed in the desert villages that had to be you otherwise as other to respected the band remained the guitar low votes.
