Mark was in a very strange art/rock/??? band called [[Juan Bizarro]], who intermittently would play shows in the Hollywood area at the time. The members of Bush met Mark at a birthday party for [[Jack Irons]] (one time RHCP drummer), a party they attended because Tom had become friendly with [[Chad Smith]] while attending [[Musician's Institute]]. At this party, there was a friend of Chads, a Juan Bizarro member who played percussion (name lost to history), and via that person, the band was introduced to Mark. Pat Finn has said "I did see Juan Bizzaro at [[Club Lingerie]] once. I think Mark was kinda interested in Bush kinda being his band? Mark was like this insanely cool Peter Murphy/David Bowie persona to us, way cooler than we imagined we could ever be. I have no idea what became of him." | Mark was in a very strange art/rock/??? band called [[Juan Bizarro]], who intermittently would play shows in the Hollywood area at the time.

Many demos were recorded by Pat Finn around this time, but only one proper Bush demo was recorded as a band, a 4 song tape from [[July 25]], [[1990]], recorded at Mark's house. | Many demos were recorded by Pat Finn around this time, but only one proper Bush demo was recorded as a band, a 4 song tape from [[July 25]], [[1990]], recorded at Mark's house. | ||
As summer turned to fall, the prospects of Bush playing a show seemed to fade, as Mark's level of involvement and commitment was impossible to gauge and the band did not want to perform without him as a singer. | |||
It was under these slow-progressing circumstances by fall 1990 that Tom left the band under friendly terms to join a new band that his fellow Chicagoans had started with San Jose transplant [[Joe Sib]], [[Wax]]. | It was under these slow-progressing circumstances by fall 1990 that Tom left the band under friendly terms to join a new band that his fellow Chicagoans had started with San Jose transplant [[Joe Sib]], [[Wax]]. | ||
