Watch Ex Hex's So-80s-It-Hurts New Video for "Don't Wanna Lose"

Ex Hex may feature the monster talents of perennial badasses Mary Timony (Helium, Wild Flag), Laura Harris (Aquarium) and Betsey Wright (The Fire Tapes), but the DC good-time rock'n'roll band's new video for "Don't Wanna Lose" is all sly, kitschy fun. The smoky, pink-stained, so-80s-it-hurts-so-good clip was directed by Laura Jean Gallagher and is (obviously) inspired by Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains! which is (obviously) a picture-perfect reference for this powerful trio to make.
