So Ya Wanna Be A Roadie - Part 6 by Vice.com

Check it, once again Boots Electric waxes poetic on the greatness, that they call home in the Yucca Valley of California.

"It’s Episode 6 of Marshall Headphones: On The Road, and the next stop is Rancho de la Luna, the spiritual home of the desert rock scene.
