What happens when a group of bored teenagers, raised on the promises of Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep and Deep Purple, get together and kick out the motherfucking jams? Motherfucking Midnight!

Just around that curve in the gravel road, beyond the cluster of heavy plum trees and inside the chicken coop-turned-cottage, there's a lot of commotion going on:  the whirring of a sewing machine, the swish of a broom, the patterns of drums and tambourines, the shouts of calls and responses, the shrill of flute song, the squeals of girl children dancing and fighting... yes, the FAUN FABLES family is getting ready to head out for the road.
