Joined by former Violent Femmes bass tech Dale Kaminski, the group cranked out not only the Cheap Trick cover, but a secret bonus track as well (they claim it has something to do with the "vision" they experienced, or maybe it was all the Rolling Rocks).

Meanwhile, during her 23rd curtain call for the all-karate version of "Annie Get Your Gun," west-Texas actress Lisa Jebsen heard about Kai and Ron's Beef-a-Roo "experience" and decided to show up at the studio during the recording session. Legend has it that she waltzed into the vocal booth and completely nailed her vocals for The House Is Rockin' in just one take.

It didn't take long for word of this amazing "vision-session" to reach sunny England where Kim Gisborne was busy searching for numerous pieces of lost luggage spread around various airports throughout Europe. Engergized by the news, Kim quickly dropped his search and took the next flight to Milwaukee to join Kai, Ron and Lisa.

Unfortunately his plane was forced to land in Boracho, Mexico due to a malfunction of the bathroom soap dispenser. His next flight had a sudden crouton crisis in the galley, causing an emergency landing at a Sizzler in Iowa but eventually the flight landed in Milwaukee (where Kim discovered his carry-on luggage had somehow been sold on eBay to a passenger in first class). However, Kim still managed to arrive at the studio to contribute backing vocals to the songs, aided by Wisconsin entrepreneur Samantha RhiaZann (who recently bought the Panama Canal and turned it into a water park).

Soon after the recording sessions were over, the group dis-banded leaving only the two songs they recorded for the AMCT Volume 4 Tribute CD. Recently some photos of the group in the recording studio surfaced in an abandoned "hire" car in Los Angeles. Kim claims no knowledge of this fact, even though surveilance cameras and scores of witnesses prove otherwise.
