Skylla

In their younger days, Ruth Goller, Lauren Kinsella and Alice Grant were simple Sirens who contented themselves with leading sailors astray. Alas, it was Ruth who, one dark and stormy night, had an epiphany that the three urgently needed to come together and form a creature with vocal superpowers: Skylla was born! In the straits between Great Britain and the European mainland, this three-headed beast lay in wait for merchant vessels and corporate freighters, until sadly one day – drrrriiillllll!!! – the Eurotunnel burst on the scene, compelling the trio to alter their core business proposition. Henceforward, for better or worse they would limit their activities to collective song without all the leading-astray trappings, and from album to album they grew stronger. When a young climate activist came floating past, by chance, Skylla swallowed her whole out of sheer boredom (along with father and skipper), proclaiming:  "One should always quit while one's ahead – yum yum, gurgle!"
Cut to a new scene: feisty woodstick player Fantômax Andrzejewski had been working all the while, quite coincidently, at the mega-media company Charybdis, where he was bored to tears by the predominant climate of mainstream mediocrity. Called away from a research session in his shed, an opportunity to switch sides suddenly presented itself during a laboratory accident at company headquarters. Zap! Thus transformed, and now realigned with Skylla in a quartet format, from that point on he even possessed the ability to cause whole super-talent shows to disappear into the mists of the bottomless abyss – haha.

"Should not now
the solidarity of creatures
be proclaimed –
down to the very last one?"

as Captain Niederrhein commented on the action, sailing past aboard his white ship. Lauren, Alice and Fantômax were quite vexed, while Ruth coaxed conciliatory tones from her electric bass – k'doom, doom, doom, doom.
And everyone set out to the Lower Rhine, to the City of Freyheidt, known locally as moers, for they were of the house and lineage of Improvised Music, to have their names recorded in the ledger, that's all, nothing mind-blowing or anything.
