Bandleader Carla Harvey said of the video:
“For the video, I wanted to capture that energy and the instant camaraderie we had as a band in a modern, Russ Meyer-esque fever dream that turns a simple road trip to a gig into absolute madnes. I enlisted director Nathan Mowery to bring the vision to life. He’s not only a filmmaker but also a wrestler, so I knew he’d nail the finale I imagined. I write all my own video treatments and personally scouted most of the locations — from Circus Liquor to L.A.’s infamous Mustang Motel. Even tracking down that badass red convertible was part of the adventure. The final cut is exactly how I dreamed it — gritty, sexy and a little unhinged… just like the song.”
