Priests, the punk-infused art band from Washington D.C., surprised fans by opting for a kinder, gentler performance at their recent Tiny Desk Concert. They played songs exclusively from their groundbreaking album "The Seduction of Kansas," produced by John Congleton. The lyrics reflect their philosophy of the personal being political, such as in the title track where Katie sings about cowboys and a country's past. The band, comprising Katie Alice Greer, Daniele Daniele, and G.L. Jaguar, is known for its DIY ethic, releasing music independently through Sister Polygon Records.

Despite their hiatus announcement in December 2019, Priests continue to leave a mark on the music scene. Their full-length debut LP "Nothing Feels Natural" earned critical acclaim in 2017. The band's anti-establishment stance is evident in their music and activism, including organizing events like "NO: A Night of Anti-Fascist Sound Resistance." While they are taking a break to pursue individual projects, Priests have not ruled out future collaborations, keeping fans hopeful for what may come next from this influential group.
