Here is the premiere of our video for “Night of the Night Sticks,” inspired by the video to Jimi Hendrix’s “Crosstown Traffic,” and filmed on the streets of Baltimore by Los Angeles filmmaker Kevin Liu. The song features lyrics by poet Brian Lampkin and guest vocals by Natalie Havens and, of course, music by Joy on Fire! Dig!!

Night of the Night Sticks

You can’t live in the city
without a rock in your hand.
You can’t live in the city
without a rock in your hand.
Joy was born in the city,
with a rock in her hand.
All the lies she’ll be told
won’t diminish her stand.

Joy measures the weight
of the rock in her hand.
She lives with the weight
of the rock in her hand.
This Baltimore gray
devours the sun.
This Baltimore night
will beat back the day.
