Midnight Riders

"Never heard of them, are they any good?"
 * -Nick

"Ya, they're a pretty big deal around here."
 * -Ellis



The Midnight Riders are a heavy metal band in the Left 4 Dead universe. They are apparently famous for their pyrotechnic light shows performed during their live performances. Though never encountered directly several posters advertise them. They were scheduled to play at Whispering Oaks but their performance was canceled because of the infection. A jukebox in a cafe has their songs One Bad Man and Midnight Ride. Alternate versions of these are played when Tanks attack: One Bad Tank and Midnight Tank. It is hinted they escaped from the horde, even after refusing to stop their tour after the Green flu came over. Graffiti in the final safe room of the Dark Carnival stage mentions that the Midnight Riders were evacuated out by helicopter ahead of the general population. Their songs can be found in The Parish's, and Swamp Fever's jukebox.

Trivia

 * It is possible that the Midnight Riders will appear as future DLC, as there are four of them and Valve goes into great detail with many aspects of them.
 * When a song is heard from the speakers in the Dark Carnival finale, the vocals are included, meaning that The Midnight Riders lip-sync their songs.
 * The beta version of Francis looks like one of the members of the MRs. Possibly he could be a fan.
