His distinct style, coupled with his singing performance of the song 'Ganz Wien' ('All of Vienna') led to manager Markus Spiegel offering to sign Falco in 1981. In contrast to shabbier fashions, he had short hair (due to his military service) and wore Ray-Ban sunglasses and suits. Despite being closely tied with the Viennese underground club scene, Falco looked uncharacteristically clean-cut. It was around this time he began performing under the stage name of Falco. He played bass guitar in a number of bands under various pseudonyms, including 'John Hudson' and 'John DiFalco.' One such band with whom he appeared was Drahdiwaberl, an Austrian group that employed shock tactics and stage antics. In late 1970s Vienna, he became part of the Viennese nightlife, which included not just music but also striptease, performance art and a general atmosphere of satirizing politics and celebrating chaos.
