Washington D.C.’s Ex Hex, featuring D.C. punk legend Mary Timony, bassist Betsy Wright and drummer Laura Harris, played the Black Cat Sunday night—two days before the band’s debut album, Rips, comes out on Merge Records. Northampton, Massachusetts rockers Speedy Ortiz opened alongside locals Teen Liver, a garage-punk-flavored band with ties to slocore ensemble Cigarette.
