Washington DC post-punk band Priests played the Starline Social Club in Oakland, CA on June 29th. The band’s second record, The Seduction of Kansas, was released by their own Sister Polygon label in April.

Sons of an Illustrious father (featuring actor Ezra Miller on drums/vocals) are out on tour with Priests.

And singer/performance artist Ziemba opened the show with a set that featured a song-specific fragrance.

Piercing Performances.

Too much fun.

Black and white perfection.

Spectacular

Priests first full length album is finally out now on their own Sister Polygon Records.

Thanks to Clocktower & Times Square Arts, we saw three great bands in a movie theater in the heart of Times Square.

We braved the arctic temperatures & winds to attend this show. Totally worth it.
