EX HEX SHARE COVER OF THE REAL KIDS’ ‘ALL KINDSA GIRLS’
– JACUZZI BOYS ANNOUNCED TO SUPPORT ON
NOVEMBER UK TOURAfter a year of relentless touring in support of 2014’s esteemed debut album ‘Rips’, EX HEX are set to return to the UK for their biggest headline tour yet. Bringing tour buddies, Jacuzzi Boys, along for the ride, they’ll be kicking things off at London’s Scala on November 2nd before heading out across the country.
To remind us all what’s in store, today they’ve shared a no messin’ cover of The Real Kids’ hit ‘All Kindsa Girls’.
“All Kinds of Girls is just a great song, the kind of song that you wish you wrote” explains Mary Timony. “I used to live in Boston and I remember John Felice from Real Kids hanging around at the local rock club the Middle East. I love the lyrics the in song that reference Boston neighborhoods: “the Green Line, the Square, and the North End.” They remind me of living there… John Felice is s a true American classic.”
Listen to ’All Kindsa Girls’:
Ex Hex is Mary Timony, Laura Harris & Betsy Wright, a power trio hailing from Washington, DC, making the music you’ve been waiting for. Drums, bass, guitar, P90s, searing leads—this is unapologetic rock ’n’ roll spat out in the discipline’s mother tongue.
They’ve already toured the UK once this year back in February, playing a packed out show at London’s Oslo, and have bowled over crowds at Field Day, Primavera, End of the Road & other European festivals, alongside continuous US tours & festivals.
