Greg taught Lyn how to do PCRs in a biology lab in Victoria. Because he thought
she was so clever he decided to give her a disc he and his friend Trent had made
of their band Pluteous. Lyn thought Greg must be a pretty good drummer but
didn't really care all that much. She moved to Ontario. After one winter of
horribly cold snow and grumpy relatives she returned to the coast. She wanted to
start a Canadian Rock Band. Meanwhile, Greg and Trent were listless. They had
had enough of being in a band without a third and fourth member. They found duos
hard to take seriously. Their troubles were mounting. Greg decided he would have
to murder Trent in order to make a clean break and get a fresh start. He was
ready. He logged on to his hotmail account to scan his inbox for hidden messages
denouncing the planned killing. And there it was, an email from Lyn: Did he want
to start a Canadian Rock Band? Maybe his friend Trent would like to play guitar?
Many months later they are still together. They've practiced, played lots of
shows, made a record, and found themselves a little Mimi to play the bass
guitar. Sometimes they get stage fright, but not all at the same time. Portico!
