Faustian Rodeo

In the land of horses, cattle and hurtin' tunes, Faust makes a pact with the devil: his soul in exchange for the dark arts of the rodeo. Riding the backs of The Fallen Angels Band, he makes his descent into hell. In this raucous cabaret, the Proximity gang join forces with some local musicians (who later joined forces to start The Breakmen) for a ramble through Hell's Country Fair. Combining original song, classic country tunes, shadow puppets, and twangy spoken word, the Faustian Rodeo is a playful send-up of the classic temptation narrative... and a damn fine party.
