  • Around 1991 / 1992 Andy Summers was thinking about creating a new 4-piece rock band. Andy on guitar, Jerry Watts on bass - unknown on drums. They needed a singer and placed an anonymous ad into Billboard Magazine asking for submissions. It supposedly just said that they were a new band which was a 'major act' looking for a new singer.

From this ad, they located a singer named Vince Rocco and apparently did 4 demos: Give it up, One Thing, Fly Too Low and Medicine Slow No live shows, and not even a band name. Maybe the singer didn't work out. (Jay Matsueda info from Jerry Watts)
