Just like the rest of the world, Ra Ra Riot can’t hate on a good ‘80s dance party. Check out all the shimmying and hairspray below in the premiere of the new video for “Beta Love,” the title track off the group’s new record of the same name.
Cribbed from Dance Party, a local TV show that aired in the ‘80s on KOFY in San Francisco, the video was directed and edited by David Dean Burkhart, a Ra Ra Riot fan who made the clip and sent it to the band.
