The new video for Ex Hex’s “Waterfall” was directed by NYC underground cartoonist M. Wartella, who has been called the “Roger Corman of cartoons” and is the creative mind behind recent animated videos for King Tuff, Black Bananas, and Sweden’s Teddybears. Wartella explains his B-movie approach: “It’s basically Rock & Roll Space Vixens invade Washington, DC. I wanted to give the awesome ladies of Ex Hex the Ed Wood treatment and create something like a Russ Meyer or Corman film: Fast, Cheap & Out of Control.”

The video features guest appearances from Michelle Mae (The Make-Up), Francy Z. Graham (Chain and the Gang), Kid Congo Powers (The Cramps, The Gun Club), and Alec MacKaye (Ignition, The Faith), who dons the legendary jacket that he is wearing on the iconic cover of Minor Threat’s 8-song EP as well as the Teen Idles 7-inch, Dischord Records’ very first release.
