Bring it on home
Where we gonna be
worth a thousand words
Why we're here
What we did before
How to get a hold of us

Greg's story begins on his 9th birthday. Taken for a birthday picnic and accidently left behind, it was on the attempt to find his way home that he began to have an appreciation for nature. He quickly learned which berries, nuts and small animals could safely be eaten, that the brown water was not good for bathing, and that spreading poison oak all over your body would not, in fact, make you immune.

It was during his years living as a feral wanderer that music began to interest him. He loved the sounds of nature around him, the splash of the rain, the tinkle of the streams, the wind through the leaves, the Ford Bronco hitting the large deer. It was all like a symphony to young Greg. He attempted to make his own instruments from wood, rocks, moss and poison oak (which is how he knows that his previous rubbing didn't make him immune). None were satisfactory however and at age 18, he'd had enough and decided to leave the forest, get a job and just buy a damn guitar like everyone else.

By now, he was naked and covered in a fine mesh of matted hair, so getting a job wasn't easy, but he saw an ad from a laboratory needing test subjects for experiments and was soon living the high life.

Now, after years of practice, he has become a full fledged musician and member of The Valves, but he never completely forgets his days in the forest, and on the nights of the full moon, he can sometimes be seen on a lonely hilltop, howling with rage as he scratches that goddamn poison oak.
Greg can sing the national Anthem of Guatemala in 6 different languages, none of which is Guatemalan
