At the last day of the fest held by Don Giovanni Records in Brooklyn, I gleefully got my face blown off by the second band: a newly-signed act out of DC called Priests. Seriously, I don't know if I've ever seen that much ferocity from a vocalist without any crowd interaction as I saw out of Katie Alice Greer on that stage. The music is disturbingly quirky which greatly adds to the feeling of intensity and unease. I bought their tape (Tape Two) which is also great but doesn't make the hairs on my neck stand up like they did live on Saturday.
Do everything you can to see them live as we await their first proper release. Until then, enjoy the fact that Pitchfork is already hip to them:
