[2] From 1977 to early 1979, Hans Hölzel was the bassist of Austrian rock group the Hallucination Company [de], during which he would adopt his stage name Falco.

Shortly after leaving the Hallucination Company, Falco became a member of Spinning Wheel, a side project of Drahdiwaberl, where he first began to sing, transitioning from bass player to vocalist and developing his own style.

Since it did not fit into the repertoire of the band, it served as an interlude between their performances, wherein Falco would take his bass guitar to the edge of the stage and Stefan Weber would step into the background.

When I first saw Falco and his number "Ganz Wien" at a Drahdiwaberl concert in the Vienna Sophiensäle [de], I realized that I wanted to sign him as a solo artist.

With the release of his Austrian number one hit "Der Kommissar" in December 1981, Falco saw both a national and international launch as a solo artist.

To this day, Falco's music is played in the U4, and "Ganz Wien" has long been the 'national anthem' for several generations of regular guests.The English version of the song (titled "That Scene") reached no.
