Blazing NYC band The Midnight Moan just put out their first video. The song is called "What I Need" and the video was shot in the Richland Farms neighborhood of LA's own city of Compton. You'll see a different side of Hub City here, as it captures dramatic horse-dancing and local vaquero culture right here in the center of urban Los Angeles. All backed by a killer track. Check it out and give a listen to their album "Comes in Phases" on iTunes and Spotify if you like what you hear.
