[ATTENDED: April 15, 2019] Priests
Priests is one of a number of bands that I know a little bit and feel like I should know more. Most of these bands have one word plural names (Priests, Savages, Daughters–who sound nothing alike but who I have a hard time keeping straight).
Priests were supposed to play at Union Transfer, but their show got moved to Boot and Saddle. Someone asked them why online and they responded, “Union Transfer is for bands that people actually like” or something like that.
And yes, Boot & Saddle is a considerably smaller venue. But on the plus side, I wasn’t going to go see them at UT, but I was happy (excited even) to see them at B&S.
I knew a few songs by them, and I liked that their new album was called The Seduction of Kansas (from the book of the same name). I knew that they were now a three piece (although there were four of them on stage), although I don’t know anything about why the fourth person left. I also didn’t really know what lead singer Katie Alice Greer looked like. So I was quite surprised to see a woman with a shock of blonde curls on her head dressed in a leather bodysuit (she must have been so hot!). (more…)
