The Jiminy Crickets

The Jiminy Crickets will be a nine-member experimental band from Lunenburg, Massachusetts, United States. It is named after the "Jiminy Cricket" character.

Foundation
The band will be founded in the United States, in Suffolk, Virgina. Jack Sawyer, a Massachusetts native, meets Aabir "Houdini" al-Filasteeni (a Rhode Island native and Syrian refugee), Mark Samuels (a British-American native of New Hampshire), Samuel Arnold (a crossdresser and urban explorer also from New Hampshire), Steve Steve (a hopscotch team leader from Maine), Joe Steve (Steve's brother, also from Maine), Anna al-Hassan (a Arabian-French expat living in Rhode Island), Dalal al-Filasteeni (Aabir's sister, also from Rhode Island), and Penny Jackson (a researcher from Vermont). They immediately decide to start a band. After a suggestion by Anna, they decide to dress up in prosthetic makeup and costumes, and buy a old "red roof" Pizza Hut and convert it into a studio called "The Pound".
