The band was founded as Peacock in 1975 by Tommy Betzler and initially toured the extended Rhine-Main area and built up a small but loyal fan base. After getting a record deal, they recorded their debut album 'The Prophet' in 1980, produced by Klaus Schulze. Then it turned out that there was already a band with the same name, so the band was re-named to P'cock. In 1981, the follow-up 'In'cognito' was released, this time produced in Klaus Schulze's studio. P'cock proved to be one of the most innovative German rock bands beyond the worn-out krautrock on the threshold of new wave and the Neue Deutsche Welle,
