The Bremen Band
The Stacked-Up Band
If there's no place for us, the four of us can become one.

Profile
The ghost of a band, a donkey, dog, cat and rooster cast aside for being too old, stacked atop one another on the road home. They can only move as one piled-up shape, and whoever's on the bottom always bears the weight. The stubborn pride of 'we can still do this' has become their curse, and each time they play, it stirs the listener's own dread of being thrown away. Falling apart, yet somehow unable to part.
Relationships with other curses
